911 Memorial
On
September 11, 2001, 19 men hijack
four fuel-loaded commercial airlines bound for west coast destinations. This
terrorist attack on the United States is orchestrated by al Qaeda leader Osama
bin Laden. A total of 2,977 people are killed in New York City, Washington, DC
and outside of Shanksville, Pennsylvania, in the worst terrorist attack in U.S.
history.
The
attacks on September 11, 2001 were one of the most watched and documented
tragedies in history. The 9/11 Memorial Museum collection contains
personal items and artifacts, accompanied by accounts of the day and stories of
heroism, courage, survival and loss. Here are some of the stories
that will be shared with visitors and preserved in the collection to honor
the lives of the nearly 3,000 victims of the September 11, 2001 and February
26, 1993 terrorist attacks.
