New York City commemorates the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, the deadliest terrorist act in U.S. history, which resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths. On that day in 2001, Islamic extremists hijacked four commercial planes, crashing two into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, leading to their collapse. A moment of silence is observed for each flight and the towers' fall. The aftermath continues to affect lives, with over 9,000 deaths linked to health issues from the attacks. The city has released 170,000 pages of documents revealing early awareness of air quality risks. Victims included citizens from over 90 countries and 441 first responders from NYC.
