Educational resources about 9/11 #September11

On the morning of 11 September 2001, members of the Islamic terrorist group Al Qaeda hijacked four planes in a coordinated attack. Two planes crashed into the Twin Towers in downtown New York, a third plane crashed into the Pentagon building in Washington, D.C., and the last plane was shot down in a field in Pennsylvania. 

The attacks killed 2,977 people, including civilians, Pentagon military personnel and the firefighters, police and emergency medical personnel who arrived on the scene.

There are many different educational resources that try to explain these attacks to students. The following list may be useful in communicating an event that would be of great importance in the future to those who did not witness it first-hand.
