We Will Never Forget!

 September 11, 2021

As we commemorate the 20th anniversary of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, ABC News compiled these reminders about what happened that day, as well as in the years since.

FAST FACTS

19 hijackers took over four planes.
Three sites hit: The South and North towers of the World Trade Center, The Pentagon, a field in Shanksville, PA

102 minutes: Total time of the major events at the World Trade Center– the time from the first crash into The North Tower, to the second crash into the South Tower, to the collapse of the South Tower, to the collapse of the North Tower.

As of 2021, the remains of 1,106 individuals killed that day in New York City have still yet to be identified, according to the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner.

FLIGHT NUMBERS AND TARGETS

United Airlines Flight 175: Crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center
UA 175 had been scheduled as a nonstop flight from Boston to Los Angeles before it was hijacked and crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center at 9:03am, according to the 9/11 Commision Report. The first plane had hit the towers just under 20 minutes earlier.

American Airlines Flight 77: Crashed into Pentagon

United Airlines Flight 93: Crashed in field in Shanksville, PA
UA 93 had been scheduled as a nonstop flight from Newark to San Francisco. The plane was “likely” hijacked at 9:28am, according to the 9/11 Commission Report, and passengers began to revolt at 9:57 am before it ultimately crashed at 10:03am.

SINCE THE DAY OF THE ATTACKS, thousands of individuals– including first responders and survivors- have died from illness contracted from the terror sites. They include, but are not limited to:

2,833 FIRST RESPONDERS AND SURVIVORS WHO HAVE DIED DUE TO CANCER OR AERODIGESTIVES, ACCORDING TO THE CDC

At least 2,833 first responders and survivors have passed from illnesses related to the site, according to the CDC’s World Trade Center Health Program– the majority of them first responders. According to the program, 1,167 first responders have died from Aerodigestives1 and 1,105 from cancer. An additional 302 survivors have died from aerodigestives, according to the program, and 305 from cancer.

241 NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICERS KILLED FROM ILLNESSES AS OF 2019

ABC News has previously reported that, as of 2019, 241 members of the NYPD died of 9/11-related illnesses — compared to the 23 killed in the attack on the World Trade Center. The most common killer has been cancer, but new research suggests that cardiovascular disease is markedly higher in responders who were first on the scene as well as those who spent protracted periods of time on the pile.

MORE THAN 250 NEW YORK CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT FIREMAN KILLED FROM ILLNESS AS OF 2021

More than 250 firefights have died since in the 20 years since 9/11, according to the latest snapshot of FDNY health released this week. Nearly 16,000 FDNY members were exposed to dust, particulates, noxious gases, chemicals and fibers while working for more than 10 months in the rescue and recovery effort, the report said.

IN THE WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN

AT LEAST 6,783 U.S. MILITARY CASUALTIES HAVE OCCURRED IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN, ACCORDING TO THE DOD:

As of August 23rd, 4,431 U.S Military and Department of Defense personnel have been killed in Iraq since 2003, according to the Department of Defense. More than 30,000 have been injured.

As of August 23rd, 2,353 U.S. military service members have been killed in Afghanistan since October 2001, according to DOD. More than 20,000 were wounded.

More than 30,000 ACTIVE SERVICE MEMBERS AND U.S. VETERANS OF THE 9/11 WARS HAVE DIED BY SUICIDE
A study out of Brown University’s Watson Institute found that 30,117 active-duty service members have died by suicide. These high suicide rates– which outpace average Americans– are caused by multiple factors, the study found, some inherent to fighting in a war and others unique to America’s “war on terror” framework.
