 | | The attacks were the most lethal attack ever by a foreign force on the U.S., and the first upon the mainland since the War of 1812. |
 | | In September 2004, just before the three-year statute of limitations expired, the insurers for the World Trade Center filed suit against American Airlines, United Airlines, and Pinkerton's airport security firm, alleging their negligence allowed the planes to be hijacked. |
 | | Because the Air Transportation Act, which was passed after September 11, limits the liability of airlines, plane manufacturers, and airports to the amount of their insurance coverage, this case will likely be combined with the consolidated master case filed in 2003. |
