Newsweek has complied several photos to showcase the day that remains infamous in American history.
Flight 93, crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers worked together to stop the terrorists. Flight 11 crashed into the upper floors of the North Tower. Just a few minutes later at 9:03 a.m. ET, the second plane, UA Flight 175, flew into the South Tower, striking floors 77 to 85. According to the 9/11 Memorial website, it was estimated that there were between 16,400 and 18,000 people at the World Trade Center complex when the planes struck the buildings.
The terrorist's mission, which was planned by al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, is still seen to this day as the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Over the past 22 years since the attack, the death toll has continued to rise, including many first responders who sustained injuries and illnesses during the recovery and rescue of people.
Three other photos shown below capture reactions from people immediately after the twin towers were struck and eventually fell.
