25 Years After September 11
In 2001, 19 terrorists from Al-Qaeda carried out terrorist attacks on the United States using four hijacked planes, resulting in the death of approximately 3,000 people and injuring over 6,000 others. The attacks caused massive destruction in New York City. These events led to drastic changes in U.S. policies both domestically and internationally, including the restructuring of national security agencies and launching a war in Afghanistan. As the 25th anniversary of the attacks approaches in 2026, some survivors, such as Gordon Hui, express concerns that over time, the memory may fade and that the new generation knows little about what happened. Plans are currently being organized for commemorative events, with American leaders, including President Joe Biden, confirming their attendance, although former President Trump has been excluded from the ceremony in New York.
