The terror attacks, in which 4 planes crashed into different places in the US, led to the deaths of nearly 3,000 people, while many others were injured. Out of the 4 hijacked passenger planes, two had crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York one after the other while a third plane crashed into the Pentagon in Virginia. A fourth hijacked flight crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The US marked the 20th anniversary of the attacks on Saturday with commemorations at the sites of the attacks.
