Ataque às Torres Gêmeas completa 19 anos nesta sexta-feira (11)

11 de setembro

A cidade de Nova York recordou nesta sexta-feira (11), as quase 3.000 pessoas mortas em 11 de setembro de 2001.  Do total de 2.753 mortos no World Trade Center, 60% tiveram o corpo identificado.

Nos ataques de 2001, quatro voos foram sequestrados e utilizados como armas por terroristas ligados à rede al-Qaeda. Dois aviões se chocaram contra as Torres Gêmeas de Nova York, um se chocou contra a fachada oeste do Pentágono, em Washington, e outro foi jogado contra o solo de um campo vazio de Shanksville, na Pensilvânia.

Donald Trump não irá a Nova York, mas enviará seu vice-presidente, Mike Pence. O presidente optou por viajar para o campo de Shanksville, na Pensilvânia, 500 km a oeste de Nova York, onde o voo 93 da United caiu depois que passageiros e tripulantes tentaram retomar o controle do avião sequestrado por quatro indivíduos. Todas as 44 pessoas a bordo morreram.
