As we all know, on September 11, 2001, a terrorist plot by al-Qaeda was uncovered and stopped cold by the National Guard. The plan was, apparently, to hijack four passenger jets and use them as missiles to attack various targets, these targets being both of the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and the Capitol Building. Afterwards, Afghanistan turned over Osama bin Laden after Bush threatened military action.

But what if the plot was successful? What if the planes successfully hit their targets? What would the damage be like, and how would American culture be affected?
