NEVER FORGET: Twenty years ago today, a crack team of inexperienced terrorists, organised by a man living in a cave in Afghanistan, successfully managed to hijack four airline jumbo jets using nothing more than Stanley knives, without US ATC or NORAD noticing, then bravely and skilfully flew two jets into the World Trade Center, and another one into the Pentagon, while the fourth crashed after the passengers rallied round to fight off the hijackers. The two hit towers of the WTC then collapsed into a cloud of dust, while a further tower - Building 7 - collapsed some twenty minutes after the BBC said it did, despite not being hit by a plane.
