On September 11, 2001, 19 members of the jihadist terror group Al-Qaeda hijacked four planes, using them as weapons in a coordinated attack on the United States. Two of the planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, leading to the collapse of the Twin Towers and the death of nearly 3,000 people.2 The aftermath of this event reshaped U.S. foreign policy and left a lasting impact on the world.
