Popis:	On Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001, nineteen (19) suicide hijackers took control of four (4) USA commercial airplanes, and crashed them into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York City, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. An estimated 5,000-6,000 people died as a result. The travel and tourism industry in the USA suffered tremendously, with immediate declines in airline passenger loads of up to 50%, and similar declines in hotel occupancy. The U.S. economy was nudged into a recession, the Stock Market declined, and Americans were also being terrorized by anthrax letters. Security at airports, seaports, train stations, bus stations, schools and colleges, tourist venues, and across corporate America became of national importance.
