The aircraft that struck the North Tower (One World Trade Center) of the World Trade Center in New York City on the morning of September 11, 2001, was American Airlines Flight 11. The plane was a Boeing 767-223ER, a wide-body aircraft designed for long-haul transcontinental flights. On that tragic Tuesday, the flight was scheduled to travel from Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, to Los Angeles International Airport in California. Because it was fueled for a cross-country journey, the aircraft carried approximately 10,000 gallons of jet fuel, which significantly intensified the fires upon impact. The plane hit the North Tower at 8:46 a.m. local time, striking between the 93rd and 99th floors at a speed of roughly 465 miles per hour. There were 81 passengers and 11 crew members on board, none of whom survived the collision. This event marked the beginning of the coordinated terrorist attacks that would ultimately lead to the collapse of both Twin Towers. The subsequent investigation by the 9/11 Commission detailed the timeline of the hijacking, which began shortly after takeoff when five hijackers took control of the cockpit and redirected the plane toward Manhattan.
