It’s hard to believe it’s been over 20 years since the 9/11 attacks. These FBI photos of the Pentagon are a stark reminder of that day.
Five al-Qaeda militants hijacked American Airlines flight 77 on Sept. 11, 2001. The plane was on its way from Dulles Airport outside of Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles, CA. The plane made it as far as eastern Kentucky before the terrorists took over the plane, redirected it, and slammed it into the Pentagon.
The FBI added 27 images the agency took on the ground that day to their photo vault, as first responders raced to rescue the wounded and remove the dead from the shell of the nation's symbol of military power.
Debris from the plane and the building are highlighted. The attack killed 125 people in the Pentagon, as well as all aboard the flight: 53 passengers, six crew, and the five hijackers.
