Description

Nearly 3,000 people died in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In Lower Manhattan, on a field in Pennsylvania, & along the banks of the Potomac, the U.S. suffered the single largest loss of life from an enemy attack on its soil. In Nov. 2002 the U.S. Congress & Pres. George W. Bush established the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the U.S., also known as the 9/11 Commission, chaired by former N.J. Gov. Thomas H. Kean. This independent, bipartisan panel was directed to examine the facts & circumstances surrounding the September 11 attacks, identify lessons learned, & provide recommendations to safeguard against future acts of terrorism. This is the official government edition of the Commission's final report. Photos.
