It was 20 years ago today that two hijacked Boeing 747 commercial
aeroplanes caused a macabre terrorist attack in the heart of New York
City, but watching the images all over again still chills anyone in any
part of this world. The terrorist attacks that took place in the morning
of September 11, 2001, didn't just change the politics and social mood
of the United States of America. It changed the whole world and
particularly the Western hemisphere: anyone who grew up in the late
1990s and early 2000s surely remembers how afraid we were of going to
McDonald's or walking next to the US Embassy in the days that followed
9/11.
