September 11 attacks (World Trade Center), September 11. On this date in 2001, four commercial airplanes were hijacked by a group of attackers, with two of the planes crashing into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.

These events are recognized as one of the largest terrorist attacks in modern history, having far-reaching effects on the domestic and foreign policies of the United States and many other countries. In response, the United States government significantly changed its security policies and launched major military operations in Afghanistan. New laws were enacted to increase air travel security and monitor suspicious activities. Numerous memorials for the victims are held worldwide, and this date remains a turning point in contemporary American and global history. In the years following the event, September 11 has been marked as a day of remembrance for the victims and reflection on the consequences of these attacks in various calendars. The event continues to be widely discussed in the media and public forums. It should be noted that, due to its historical significance and global impact, this date was officially designated in the Gregorian calendar as a memorial day for the September 11 attacks after 2001.
