Mental Health in New York City After the September 11 Terrorist Attacks: Results From Two Population Surveys

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: On the morning of September 11, 2001, four commercial airliners were hijacked from U.S. airports. Two of the planes crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center (WTC) in lower Manhattan, New York City. The WTC towers collapsed in the hours after they were hit. Although most people working inside the twin towers evacuated the buildings soon after the planes hit, the collapse of the towers resulted in the death of more than 3,000 people. Among the dead were office workers in the buildings at the time of their collapse and rescue personnel who had been climbing the towers in an attempt to bring survivors down to ground level. The terrorist attacks of September 11 were the largest single terrorist attack ever on U.S. soil.
