Abstract
THE SUICIDAL COLLISIONS OF HIJACKED COMMERCIAL AIRLINERS INTO the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, entailed the most destructive terrorist attack in world history. Before the deaths of over 3,000 people in those attacks, the historically greatest single terrorist attack claimed the lives of about 380 people. The 2001 disaster took place at a time when experts had been defining a new form of terrorism focused on millennial visions of apocalypse and mass casualties. The catastrophic attacks seemed to confirm the previously unheeded fears of terrorism experts—that a qualitatively different form of terrorism was emerging.KeywordsTerrorist GroupSevere Acute Respiratory SyndromeMass DestructionMass CasualtyBiological WeaponThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
