It’s been 17 years since terrorists hijacked four commercial jet airliners and crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York City; the Pentagon in Washington; and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Each year, Americans have found different ways to mark the anniversary and remember those who died in the attacks.
