On September 11,Bush faced a crisis that would transform his presidency. That morning, four American commercial airplanes were hijacked by Islamist terrorists.

They traveled in small groups, and some of them received commercial flight training. In the early morning of August 29,Atta called Binalshibh and said he had a riddle that he was trying to solve: Putting it together, it meant that the attacks would occur onor 11 September in most countries the day precedes the month in numeric dates, but in the United States the month precedes the day; hence, it was in the United States.
