The twin towers of the World Trade Center burn behind the Empire State Building in New York, Sept. 11, 2001. In a horrific sequence of destruction, terrorists crashed two planes into the World Trade Center causing the twin 110-story towers to collapse.

Saturday will mark 7,300 days since four hijacked planes became weapons of mass destruction, curtailing thousands of lives and shattering America’s sense of invincibility and impenetrability.
