Saturday marks 20 years since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
On that morning, 19 members of the extremist group, al-Qaeda, hijacked four California-bound commercial airplanes. In a coordinated attack, two of the planes were flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, a third into the Pentagon, and the fourth crashed into a field in western Pennsylvania.
There were 2,977 people killed that day, marking the single largest loss of life in a foreign attack on American soil.
Most people who were alive during Sept. 11, 2001, remember just where they were when the terrorist attacks unfolded. Although it may have seemed like time stopped on that fateful day, the events took place in just a matter of minutes.
