· World · NDTV
Nineteen Al-Qaeda operatives hijacked four commercial aircraft on September 11, 2001, resulting in the destruction of the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in New York and damage to the Pentagon in Arlington. A fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after passengers resisted the hijackers. While the attacks are well-documented, public discourse has occasionally featured unsubstantiated claims regarding the training backgrounds of the perpetrators. The article addresses these narratives by clarifying the established facts surrounding the hijackers' flight preparation. No credible evidence supports the various speculative theories that have circulated regarding the specific origins of their pilot training.
