September 11th, 2001 saw two hijacked commercial jetliners strike the World Trade Center, reducing the Twin Towers to over a million and a half tons of rubble. Another plane hit the Pentagon, and the fourth, United Flight 93, was brought down in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, by passengers and crew who'd heard about the earlier incidents.

Reflecting on the anniversary of the attacks, former President George W. Bush said this week that there was a brief, "horrible moment" where it was believed Flight 93 had been shot down by the U.S. military.
