In the tragic attacks of September 11, 2001, nine Portuguese citizens died. This was the number of confirmed Portuguese fatalities in the terrorist attacks that destroyed the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York.
Of the nine Portuguese who lost their lives in these attacks, five bodies were never recovered. This means that the families of these victims did not have the opportunity to bury their loved ones in a traditional manner.
Among the victims was João Aguiar, identified in the article as one of the people who worked at the World Trade Center. The article does not provide further details about his life or circumstances of his death.
The September 11 attacks, carried out by the Al-Qaeda organization, caused the deaths of nearly three thousand people in total, becoming one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in contemporary history.
