September 11, 2001 attacks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | According to Mohammed Afroze, a planned simultaneous attack in London on the Palace of Westminster and Tower Bridge was aborted at the last minute when the would-be hijackers, waiting to board the planes they were to hijack, saw the damage in the U.S., panicked, and fled. |
 | | The attacks are almost universally referred to as terrorist attacks, and certainly fall under the two most-used definitions, both "political violence by non-state actors" and "political violence against civilians". |
 | | On September 20, 2001, the president spoke before the nation and a joint session of the United States Congress, regarding the events of that day, the intervening nine days of rescue and recovery efforts, and his intent in response to those events. |
