September 11, 2001, remains one of the most pivotal moments in U.S. history, marking a tragic turning point in international relations and global security. This day saw the hijacking of four planes, culminating in devastating attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, resulting in the loss of 2,977 lives. The immediate aftermath involved a declaration of war on terrorism, leading to U.S. military actions in Afghanistan. The consequences of this day extended far beyond the immediate impact, reshaping perceptions between the West and the Islamic world, increasing security measures, and inciting prejudices.
