Much like Dec. 7, 1941 (the attack on Pearl Harbor), Sept. 11, 2001 also became "a day
that will live in infamy."

At 8:48 a.m., a hijacked American Airlines commercial jetliner crashes into one of New
York City's World Trade Center towers. At 9:05, a second plane crashes into the second
tower.

As people try to evacuate, the impact and heat from the crash cause the first tower to
tumble to the ground in enormous clouds of smoke and debris. The second tower collapses
shortly thereafter, leaving nothing but ash, rubble and destruction for miles where one
of our nation's greatest landmarks once stood.
