Impact of 9/11 After 25 Years
On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda carried out terrorist attacks on the United States using four commercial airplanes, resulting in the deaths of 2,977 people, including more than 400 rescue workers. The attacks destroyed the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon, turning New York into a massive disaster zone. The planning of the attacks was long-term, involving 19 attackers, with flight training conducted within the United States, and occurred after incomplete intelligence warnings, revealing serious security gaps. Following the attacks, the United States declared a war on terror, launched military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, and significantly changed travel and security procedures. The event had effects that lasted for 25 years on global politics and security, with its impact continuing to influence the international community.
