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 first attack, which occurred at 8:46 am local time, American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center Complex in New York City, New York. Five hijackers belonging to Al-Qaida took control of the Boeing 767 aircraft on a flight originating from Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, and destined for Los Angeles International Airport. There were 76 passengers, 11 crew members and five hijackers on the plane, all of whom died upon impact. The North Tower collapsed at 10:28 a.m. local time after the South Tower had collapsed at 9:59 a.m. local time. At least 2,767 people died as a result of the attacks in New York City, including 10 hijackers as well as responders who contracted cancer and respiratory illnesses at the attack site and passed away years later. More than 16,000 others were injured. Al-Qaida leaders including Osama bin Laden and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed claimed responsibility for the attacks in multiple videotaped interviews.
