Never Forget: 22nd Anniversary of September 11 Attacks

On this day in history, nearly 3,000 people were killed after al-Qaida hijackers sent a plane into New York’s Pentagon and World Trade Center.

The 9/11 attacks were the worst assault on U.S. soil since the 1941 Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where 2,400 people were killed.

It's been 22 years since that tragic day, but it is still fresh in the minds of many Americans.
