9/11: the day that changed America

The morning of Tuesday 11 Sep 2001 was bright and crisp as thousands of people made their way to work in New York and Washington.

Most people thought that a terrible accident had happened when a plane hit the north tower of the World Trade Centre just before 9am.

But within an hour, as thousands lay dead in the wreckage of the twin towers and the Pentagon, it was apparent that America had been the victim of a terrible terrorist attack that would change the country forever.
