9/11 anniversary: Photos taken in the aftermath show poignant side of President George W Bush
President George W Bush was a divisive figure in America after the 9/11 terror attacks, but newly-released images show how deeply affected he was by the attacks
September 11, 2001 will forever mark a somber day in America's history irrelevant of how many years, decades, or centuries have passed since the horrifying day. Today marks the 17th anniversary of the Osama Bin Laden-orchestrated terrorist attacks on New York's iconic twin towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and what was supposed to be Washington DC but ended up being Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
The four coordinated attacks that were set off by 19 Al-Qaeda terrorists who hijacked American Airlines Flight 11, American Airlines Flight 77, United Airlines Flight 175, and United Airlines Flight 93, and would resulted in the deaths of 2,996 people and injured over 6,000 others.
