A significant event occurred when airspace was shut down. Many planes were forced to land, and some were diverted to other countries. The aftermath of a major attack is still remembered today.

A small town played a big role in managing diverted flights. Fewer than 10,000 residents lived there, yet they took in a large number of people.

The town welcomed thousands of passengers and crew from around the world. For more information about this event, further details are available from the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and the 9/11 Legacy Foundation.
