history. On September 11, 2001, groups of attackers
deliberately flew two commercial airliners into the towers,
the first striking the north tower at 8:46 AM (local time) and
the second hitting the south tower at 9:03. Badly damaged and
engulfed in flames, the weakened south tower collapsed at
9:59; the north tower fell about a half hour later. Debris
from the towers also destroyed or damaged other buildings in
