Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, 2001, journalist Tom Brokaw led NBC News’s coverage of the devastating terrorist attacks that unfolded across the U.S. The attacks involved the hijacking of four commercial airplanes by terrorists. Two planes were deliberately flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, causing their collapse. A third plane struck the Pentagon, a key building in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth aircraft, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after passengers and crew bravely fought the hijackers. Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives in the coordinated attacks, marking a pivotal moment in American history and prompting a global response to terrorism. Brokaw’s special report provided crucial, live coverage during the unfolding tragedy.
