# The US today marks 24-years since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Nearly three-thousand lives were lost when Al-Qaeda hijackers crashed planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in a field in Pennsylvania. Families will gather for the reading of names and six moments of silence in New York. US president Donald Trump will attend a Pentagon memorial as the nation reflects on a day that reshaped US history and foreign policy.
