9/11: How The Hindu covered the terror attacks on USA
This article reflects on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, detailing the events of the day and the subsequent impact on global security and the victims' families. It highlights the role of al-Qaeda in the hijackings and the lasting scars left on the international community.
Why it matters
The 9/11 attacks fundamentally altered global geopolitics, intelligence operations, and the public's perception of terrorism.
The 9/11 terror attacks are forever etched in the collective memory of the world. On September 11, 2001, the world witnessed horrors hitherto unseen as the Twin Towers in New York City, USA, came crumbling down after two commercial flights crashed into them. Another jetliner hit the Pentagon, and a fourth crashed in Pennsylvania.
The moment and its aftermath, chronicled by The Hindu from the ground, completely changed the way the world looked at terrorism. Its scars are still visible 25 years later, in the form of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and the accounts of many who lost loved ones.
