Terrorists hijack four jetliners and crash them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. The twin towers and 7 World Trade Center collapsed.
Consequences:
The people who ran down to the site to volunteer, as well as workers and emergency responders, are continuing to suffer from ailments that almost surely were caused by their long exposure to toxic air at the site.
In March 28th, 2006, workers near the World Trade Center site discovered more bone fragments and human remains. In September, hundreds more fragments are found on the roof of the former Deutsche Bank building. (On the right side of the picture below).
Construction workers installed the first steel column for the Sept. 11 memorial at ground zero. The 7,700-pound column was erected by the footprint of the World Trade Center's north tower. The "Reflecting Absence" memorial will set two giant pools over the twin towers' footprints.
But a city-state agency says it may not be completed until five years later, and at the moment there is just one other tower being built on the site, Tower Four.
The World Trade Centre site is currently being rebuilt with six new skyscrapers, a memorial to the casualties of the attacks, a modern transportation system, and cultural and commercial spaces. City planners are reportedly eyeing to bring back a strong and vibrant community in Lower Manhattan.
Freedom Tower and mast on the southwest of the site are expected to reach an astounding 1776 feet into the sky.
As things stand now, the memorial to the victims of the terrorist attack is scheduled to open in 2011.
The terrorists lost. They're still there; the city of New York endures.
In memory of the victims of the

Rest in peace forever
