9.11 911テロ アメリカ同時多発テロ アメリカ同時多発テロ事件
Shorthand for September 11, [[2001]], when two planes hijacked by Al-Qaeda terrorists flew into the [[World Trade Center|Twin Towers]], causing them to collapse top-down onto the streets of [[New York City]]. Another plane was flown into Pentagon building in Arlington, Virginia while a fourth, presumed to be targeting somewhere in [[Washington D.C.]] was deliberately crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania as its passengers fought to regain control from the [[terrorist]]s. The death toll is currently at 2,996.

Widely considered by Americans to be the true start of the 2000s. Then-US President [[george w. bush|George W. Bush]] was often jocularly connected to the attacks on sites such as [[4chan]] ("Bush did 9/11").

The most common depiction of the event depicts [[smoke]] exiting either of the towers.
