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 second of these attacks, which occurred at 9:03 a.m. local time, United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center Complex in New York City, New York. Five hijackers belonging to Al-Qaida hijacked the Boeing 767 aircraft on a flight originating from Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, and destined for Los Angeles International Airport. There were 56 passengers, nine crew members and five hijackers on the plane, all of whom died upon impact. The South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. local time, killing all who were trapped inside or located nearby. The North Tower collapsed, after having been struck by American Airlines Flight 11, at 10:28 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.
