Those of you born post-2001 are accustomed to the strict air travel rules that forbid taking even water past security gates. However, airports were not always like that. Seventeen years ago, passengers were not only allowed to carry on board all liquids, but also “dangerous” items such as baseball bats, box cutters, darts, knitting needles, scissors, and even four-inch blades. That changed on September 11, 2001, when members of the Islamic extremist organization Al Qaeda used airplanes as weapons to carry out the deadliest terrorist attacks on American soil in U.S. history.

                  Very disappointing. There are a lot of cruel people in this world and terrorists are one of them. I guess this is a reason why people are starting to loose faith in humanity.

                        This is very sad, but think about it, it wasn't the plane that collapsed it. It was an inside mission, somebody exploded it from the bottom. The plane hit the top or near the top, right? So then how would the whole tower collapse? According to the way physics work, if something gets hit from top it will break, but not collapse. Therefore, my theory is someone on the team set a bomb on the bottom, and blew it up.

                          no they did not! the planes that hit the tower broke the support of the top, that began to fall
