Во вторник, 11 сентября 2019 года исполняется 18 лет со дня самого масштабного и кровавого теракта, серии четырех координированных террористических актов-самоубийств, совершенных в Соединенных Штатах Америки членами террористической организации «Аль-Каида» при поддержке Саудовской Аравии.
В тот роковой день трагически погибли 2977 человек и еще 24 пропали без вести, большинство из них — гражданские.
