victims of 9/11

The victims of 9/11 were nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives when terrorists hijacked airplanes and attacked the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Virginia, and attempted a flight that ended in Pennsylvania. They included passengers, crew members, first responders, and workers in the targeted buildings. These individuals came from diverse backgrounds, ages, and professions. Their deaths resulted from the attacks’ violence and destruction, leaving a profound impact on families, communities, and the nation, and leading to lasting changes in security and counter-terrorism efforts.
