25 Years After 9/11, Malmstrom Remembers when Everything Changed
On the morning of the 9/11 attacks, a Malmstrom resident took their children to a neighbor's house so they could watch the news and play outside safely.
Security forces patrolled neighborhoods, instructing people outdoors to go inside, close blinds, and lock doors due to uncertainty about ongoing attacks.
There was confusion and fear about whether military bases were being attacked and concerns about the possibility of war were expressed.
Everyday activities changed significantly due to the attacks, reflecting heightened security and concern for safety.
On September 11, 2001, four commercial airliners were hijacked by members of Al Qaeda and used to attack the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. Nearly 3,000 people died on a day that shocked the world and marked a turning point in the history of the United States.
