Remembering the 9/11 Attacks: 25 Years Later
Americans recall where they were as nearly 3,000 people died and the attacks reshaped travel, security and daily life for years.
- Today, September 11, 2026, marks the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people when 19 al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial planes and struck the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
- Immediately after the second plane struck, officials in the Situation Room assessed threats while leaders confirmed the nation was under attack, prompting the grounding of thousands of airplanes nationwide across the United States.
- To bridge the generational divide, Southeast Missouri State University history professor Adam Criblez uses the film 'Home Alone' to teach students how airport security changed after the attacks, making the event relevant to those not yet born.
- A new national security architecture was created to confront emerging threats, with vigilance keeping major terror attacks away for 25 years and modernizing armed forces for 21st century fights.
- Commemorating 25 years offers the nation opportunity to reflect on the past, as Criblez notes that remembering remains vital to ensure history does not seem irrelevant to modern life.
