Two of the airliners hit the World Trade Center in New York City, one of the planes flew into the Pentagon near Washington D.C., and the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks killed approximately 3,000 people and injured 6,000 more. In New York, these horrifying events left over 2,000 people dead in a pile of debris in the heart of the city. The attack on the Pentagon killed 125 people and was shocking because it struck a symbol of American military in Washington, D.C. The fourth plane was supposedly headed toward government buildings in Washington D.C. including the White House, but many passengers on the plane fought back against the terrorists and forced the plane to spiral downwards into an open field in Shanksville,
