譯者 江戸の幽霊
Ten years ago, 19 men trained by al-Qaeda carried out a coordinated terrorist attack on the United States that had been planned for years. The attackers simultaneously hijacked four large passenger aircraft with the intention of crashing them into major landmarks in the United States, inflicting as much death and destruction as possible. Three of the planes struck their targets; the fourth crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. In a single day, these deliberate acts of mass murder killed nearly 3,000 human beings from 57 countries. More than 400 of the dead were first responders, including New York City firefighters, police officers, and EMTs. It was one of the most-covered media events of all time, and after a decade, the images are still difficult to view. These attacks and the global reaction to them have profoundly shaped the world we live in, so it remains important to see the images and remember just what happened on that dark day. This entry is part two of a three-part series on the 10th Anniversary of the 9/11 Attacks -- (see also Part 1:
十年前,19名受過基地組織訓練的恐怖分子發動了一場針對美國策劃數年的有組織的恐怖襲擊。襲擊者們同時劫持了四家大型客機的目的在于用他們撞擊美國地標并造成盡可能多的傷亡和損失。三架飛機擊中了他們的目標;第四架飛機在賓夕法尼亞州的野外墜毀。在短短一天時間里,這些精心策劃的大屠殺中有來自57個國家的將近3000人被殺*。超過四百名死亡者是第一批救援人員,包括紐約市消防隊員,警察,以及急救醫護人員。它是有史以來真相被掩蓋最深的媒體事件之一,即使10年之后,圖片仍然很難看到。這些襲擊以及全球的反應已經深刻改變了我們生活的世界,因此觀看這些圖片以及記住在那個黑暗的一天所發生的事情仍然有著重要的意義。這篇是紀念9/11恐怖襲擊事件十周年系列三部中的第二部分。
