A Handful of Terrorists Cannot Bring Down a Nation

摘要

In less than two hours on Sept. 11, approximately 18 terrorists equipped with probably less than $100 worth of knives and box cutters unbelievably were able to commandeer four planes and destroy them along with the twin towers of the World Trade Center and a portion of the Pentagon. Lost in the attack are an estimated 5,400 people in and around the towers, 123 at the Pentagon and 266 on the planes.
