People scramble for cover under a shower of debris after the World Trade Center is struck in a terrorist attack. A hijacked American Airlines Boeing 767, originating from Boston's Logan Airport, struck 1 World Trade Center (north tower) at 8:45 a.m. At 9:03 a.m., a United Airlines 767, also hijacked in Boston, crashed into 2 World Trade Center (south tower). Both towers later collapsed. Photo by David Handschuh. Copyright 2001 by Daily News LP. Used with permission.
