On the morning of 11 September 2001, the world witnessed one of the most harrowing tragedies in modern history as two passenger planes, hijacked by Al Qaeda terrorists, were deliberately flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.

The attacks, part of a coordinated plot, caused massive structural damage to both towers, which later collapsed in a cloud of dust and debris, killing 2,606 innocent civilians.

The event not only devastated countless families but also altered the global political landscape, leading to wars, heightened security measures, and a renewed focus on the fight against terrorism.

The horrors of that day remain etched in collective memory as a dark turning point in history.
