9/11

United Airlines Flight 93 was a flight that was hijacked by four al-Qaeda terrorists on 9/11, as part of the 9/11 attacks. The hijackers planned to crash the plane into a federal government building in the national capital of Washington, D.C. The mission became a partial failure when the...

POD is Ross Perot begins his 1992 Presidential campaign with James Stockdale as his running mate by founding the Reform Party in 1990 as a protest to the beginning of negotiations for NAFTA . For the 1990 Congressional elections he has his party candidates stand all seats in the Congress and...

I'm currently considering on what to do for my Before 1900 TL either being a redux of The Eternal Empire with added help from anyone who's interested or a Napoleonic TL where 1) Nappy and Josephine have a son, 2) Haiti is crushed, and 3) the French navy doesn't suffer the attrition that it faced...

After 9/11 gta3 was almost cancelled. The reason why is because Rockstar offices were right next to the wtc. Just for you to know Vice City was in development at the time so there still would have been a Gta 3.

Bush vs. The Axis of Evil 'It's Too Quiet' Excerpt from Christopher Hitchens in the debate ‘Was the War on Terror Unavoidable?’ “The dawn of the twenty-first century promised the dawn of a new era. Colonialism, Fascism and Stalinism had all had their intellectual and moral foundations...

I've seen a few threads speculating on what if 9/11 had been carried out by right-wing extremists, or leftists, or Christian fanatics, but what if it was done by some bizarre doomsday movement? Think Heaven's Gate but better-organized, better funded, and even crazier. The exact beliefs aren't...

What do y'all think would've happened if the United States wasn't the only country that was attacked on September 11th, 2001? And which other countries would've been targeted?

As the thread title says: for whatever reason, Osama bin Laden goes for an earlier 9/11 which is planned to occur during the 2000 State of the Union address, specifically with the intent of targeting the Capitol and decapitating the United States government. Assuming this succeeds, what are the...

Hello! This is @JCC the Alt Historian here. I have decided to make a thread about photos and videos from an alternate world (or technically from different types of worlds) where the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attacks never happen. Without 9/11 ever happening, society in both the United...

Somehow or another, I came across this analysis of the damage sustained by WTC-1 and WTC-2 on 9/11, published by FEMA a year following the attacks. In particular, I was struck by the following passage: Supposing we could conveniently handwave away the severity of the fires and the damage they...

The title is self-explanatory, really nothing much to add besides this question. In a world where 9/11 never occurs, how different does technology looks like today as of 2023? I would like your opinions on all tech, such as - computers, cellphones, artificial intelligence, buildings, vehicles...

I find it confusing to what could happen Afghanistan if the Soviets never had withdrawn. And I have read these threads https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/war-on-terror-with-a-surviving-ussr.132355/ and...

I've tried looking around for a somewhat definite answer to a question that is suprisingly not often asked: what if the hijackers didn't bank the plane to the left at the last moment before impact? I think at least the left wing would clip into the tower, but I'm not sure what would happen...

Say the 9/11 attacks happened a year earlier, on September 11, 2000 instead of 2001. What is Clinton's response to such an event? With the 2000 presidential election less than 2 months away, could this event possibly have any effect on how the election turns out?

What if the order of the planes from 9/11 was changed, so the White House was hit first? The two planes that impacted the Twin Towers - Flights 11 and 175 - were the earliest to be hijacked and the earliest to hit their targets. The fourth and last plane to be hijacked, Flight 93, was probably...

Geronimo Part I August 20th, 1998. Approximately 3:30 p.m. GMT[1]. Following orders given by President Bill Clinton, the United States undertook a controversial act. In what the President justified as a pre-emptive strike against terrorism. 70 cruise missiles were fired into Afghanistan...

I'm sure that you guys know about Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, American Dad! and The Cleveland Show. Well, on the morning of the 11th of September, 2001, Seth MacFarlane was scheduled to return to Los Angeles on American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston. However, with a incorrect...

In 1993, nearly 8 years before 9/11, there was an attempted attack on the WTC where a group of Islamic terrorists tried to detonate a bomb beneath the north tower. They believed that if the attempt was successful, the blast would knock down the north tower onto the south tower, destroying both...

Would it be possible to restore the Lower Manhattan skyline?

As the title says, what if 9/11 happened 3 years later and happened either exactly on September 11th in 2004, or some other time in 2004 before the election. Let's assume this 9/11 goes very similarly to OTL's 9/11. How is the election affected? How does culture change? How are those 3 years...
