This was one of four related attacks that occurred in the United States that are known collectively as the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks. In the third of these attacks, which occurred at 9:37 am local time, American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. Five hijackers belonging to Al-Qaida hijacked the Boeing 757 aircraft on a flight from Washington Dulles International Airport to for Los Angeles International Airport and proceeded to fly the plane into the western side of the Pentagon. At least 190 people died as a result of the attack at the Pentagon. There were 53 passengers, six crew members and five hijackers on the plane, all of whom died on impact. In addition, 125 people died in the Pentagon due to the impact or in the resulting fire, and at least one first responder died as a result of illness contracted due to exposure to contaminants at the attack site. Al-Qaida leaders including Osama bin Laden and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed claimed responsibility for the attacks in multiple videotaped interviews.
