On September 11, 2001, four hijacked airplanes brought about a catastrophic day for the United States, resulting in the loss of 2,977 lives. The attacks took place in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania, targeting the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field near Shanksville. The incident exposed weak points in America's aviation security, intelligence-sharing, emergency response, and national security systems.
In response, the US House Committee on Homeland Security has been reviewing the progress made since 9/11 and has identified more than 20 areas where further action is required.
