  "summary": "On September 11, 2001, four hijacked planes were involved in the deadliest terrorist attacks in US history, resulting in the deaths of 2,977 people. The attacks, which included the crash of American Airlines Flight 11 into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, the crash of United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower, the crash of American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon, and the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, exposed vulnerabilities in various aspects of American security systems. In the aftermath, the US House Committee on Homeland Security conducted a review of the progress made since the attacks and identified over 20 areas where further action was required to enhance national security.",
