B) The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon event occurred on 9/11.
- On September 11, 2001, a significant event known as the 9/11 terrorist attacks occurred. Nineteen terrorists associated with the Islamic militant group Al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial airplanes.
- The attacks were carried out by 19 terrorists from Al-Qaeda, a terrorist organization led by Osama Bin Laden.
- They hijacked four commercial airplanes with the intention of using them as weapons to attack key targets in the United States.
- Two of the planes crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. Another plane crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.
- The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, was headed towards another target in Washington D.C. but passengers attempted to regain control, causing it to crash in a field in Pennsylvania.
- The terrorists aimed to cause massive destruction, create fear, and send a message of their opposition to U.S. activities in the Middle East, among other geopolitical reasons.
- Teams of terrorists boarded the planes and used box cutters to gain control from the pilots. They then redirected the planes to hit their designated targets.
