Exactly 25 years ago, on September 11, 2001, unprecedented attacks struck the United States, a country that considered itself untouchable after having won the Cold War. The article describes the moment as a thunderbolt in a sky that only seemed blue, destroying the illusion of a peaceful future.

These attacks were one of the most striking events in contemporary history, having shaken not only the USA but the entire world. The images of that day remain etched in the world's collective memory.

The responsible terrorists belonged to the Al-Qaeda organization, which hijacked four commercial planes. Two of these planes were flown into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.

The article mentions that the first two collisions happened approximately one hour apart, causing the death of thousands of people and marking the beginning of a new era in the international geopolitical landscape.
