On September 11, 2001 four planes were hijacked. Two planes hit the twin towers and one hit the pentagon. 9/11 was a tragic event that will never be forgotten. Over 3000 people died. On Tuesday morning 19 terrorists boarded four planes. The hijacker intentionally took over the plane and flew them into their destination. However, one of the planes, flight 92, was heading towards Washington D.C. but many brave people tried stop the terrorists by taking over the plane. Flight 92 crashed into a field near Shanksville.
Before this attack airline security was simple. Everybody would walk through a medal detector and their bags would be X-rayed. Prior to 9/11 all of this was done by a privet companies supervised by the Federal Aviator administration. However, after the event on September 11, 2001, the government set up the Transportation Security Administration.
Transportation Security Administration
This is an agency of the U.S. Department of Home Land Security.
