**Tragedy Remembered: American Airlines Boeing 767 Remembered on 9/11 Anniversary** **September 11, 2021** On September 11, 2001, a clear late summer day forever etched in American history, American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767, became the first victim of the deadliest terrorist attacks in the United States. Loaded with over 20,000 pounds of jet fuel, the plane was hijacked by al-Qaeda terrorists shortly after takeoff from Logan International Airport in Boston. At 8:46 AM, the aircraft crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York City, triggering a devastating cascade of events. In a matter of minutes, a second Boeing 767, United Airlines Flight 175, was also hijacked and flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Center. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, crashed into the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C. The 9/11 attacks claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people, including the passengers and crew of the three planes. The Twin Towers of the World Trade Center collapsed within hours, leaving behind a smoldering ruin and a profound sense of loss and sorrow. In the years since, the National September 11 Memorial Museum has been established to honor the victims and preserve the memory of the tragedy. Located at the World Trade Center site, the memorial includes two reflecting pools representing the footprints of the Twin Towers, along with a museum that tells the story of the attacks and their aftermath. As we remember this somber anniversary, let us honor the victims and their families, and recommit ourselves to the fight against terrorism and the preservation of our democratic values.
