AI Summary
Twenty-five years ago, two hijacked United Airlines flights—Flight 11 and Flight 175—departed from Boston and were commandeered by terrorists linked to al‑Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. The planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York, striking 17 minutes apart. The attacks occurred on a clear morning after a storm, when New Yorkers awoke to crisp blue skies. This coordinated assault marked the deadliest terrorist act on U.S. soil at that time.
