Twin Towers are hit from "summary" of Fall and Rise: The Story of 9/11 by Mitchell Zuckoff
The morning of September 11, 2001, started like any other day in New York City. People were going about their business, unaware of the tragedy that was about to unfold. At 8:46 a. m., American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767 carrying 92 people, crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. The impact was devastating, causing a massive explosion and sending shockwaves through the building. As the world watched in horror, it became clear that this was not a tragic accident but a deliberate act of terrorism. The Twin Towers, symbols of American power and prosperity, had been targeted by terrorists intent on causing destruction and chaos. The impact of the plane crash was just the beginning of a series of events that would change the course of history. Less than 20 minutes after the first plane hit, United Airlines Flight 175, another Boeing 767 with 65 people on board, struck the South Tower of the World Trade Center. The sight of two planes crashing into the iconic skyscrapers sent shockwaves around the world. The Twin Towers, once a symbol of strength and resilience, were now engulfed in flames and smoke, their future uncertain. The Twin Towers had always stood tall and proud, a testament to human ingenuity and ambition. But on that fateful day, they became a symbol of vulnerability and destruction. The impact of the plane crashes caused unimaginable devastation, trapping thousands of people inside the buildings and leaving first responders with an impossible task. As the world grappled with the enormity of the tragedy, the concept of the Twin Towers being hit became a defining moment in history. The images of the burning towers, the desperate cries for help, and the heroic efforts of those who risked their lives to save others would forever be etched in the collective memory of humanity. The events of 9/11 would change the world in ways that no one could have imagined, leaving a lasting impact on the lives of millions.
