Reflecting on 9/11: Twenty-Five Years After the Attacks
· World · Indian Express, Zee News, France 24
Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, the United States is marking the anniversary of the tragedy that killed nearly 3,000 people in 2001. Al-Qaida hijackers took control of four passenger planes, flying them into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon near Washington, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The attacks reshaped American domestic security, aviation protocols, and foreign policy, leaving a lasting impact across generations. Close to a third of the US population was born after 2001, encountering the historic event primarily through memorials and educational accounts. Commemorative ceremonies and tributes are being held nationwide to honor the victims.
Why it matters
The 25-year milestone marks a generational shift in how the defining event of modern American history is remembered and taught.
