Remembrance Day Report
Date: September 11, 2024
The Remembrance Day program was observed on September 11, 2024, to honor the memory of the victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States. The attacks involved a series of airline hijackings and suicide missions carried out by 19 militants associated with the extremist group al-Qaeda. These tragic events targeted key locations in the United States, including New York City and Washington, D.C., marking the deadliest terrorist attacks in American history.
Approximately 2,750 people were killed in New York, 184 at the Pentagon, and 40 in Pennsylvania, where all hijackers also perished. The attacks caused massive destruction and loss of life, particularly among first responders—more than 400 police officers and firefighters lost their lives while attempting rescue operations.
The Remembrance Day program was organized by the Mathematics Department and led by Ms. Hafstah EK. She delivered an insightful introduction about the World Trade Center terrorist attack and provided a summary of the sequence of events, the impact on the United States, and the significant losses suffered.
The event served as a solemn occasion to remember the victims, honor the bravery of first responders, and reflect on the global efforts to combat terrorism.
