September 11, 2018, marks the seventeenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, The Pentagon and flight 93, which was brought down near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Nineteen Al Qaeda terrorists hijacked four planes in coordinated attacks, two planes flew into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, one plane crashed into the Pentagon, Washington D.C., a fourth plane crashed without reaching its intended target as hero passengers and crew fought back after hearing the news of the events elsewhere that morning.

Nearly 3,000 people died on that day, the largest loss of life in America due to terrorist action. May they all rest in peace.
