9/11 Commission

The 9/11 Commission was established by the U.S. government to investigate the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. Its purpose was to understand what happened, why security failures occurred, and how to prevent future attacks. The commission conducted extensive interviews and reviewed documents, ultimately producing a detailed report in 2004 that outlined the events of the attacks, the responses by government agencies, and recommendations for improving national security and intelligence coordination. The report emphasized the need for better communication and collaboration among agencies to enhance the nation's safety.
