“9·11事件”是2001年9月11日发生在美国纽约世界贸易中心的一起系列恐怖袭击事件。2001年9月11日上午（美国东部时间），两架被恐怖分子劫持的民航客机分别撞向美国纽约世界贸易中心一号楼和世界贸易中心二号楼，两座建筑在遭到攻击后相继倒塌，世界贸易中心其余5座建筑物也受震而坍塌损毁；9时许，另一架被劫持的客机撞向位于美国华盛顿的美国国防部五角大楼，五角大楼局部结构损坏并坍塌。

A once heavily-used subway station destroyed when the Twin Towers collapsed finally reopened Saturday, nearly two decades after the Sept. 11 attacks. It's one of the last significant parts of the World Trade Center to reopen as lower Manhattan continues to rebuild what was lost.

The Cortlandt Street station on the No. 1 line, which was located directly below the World Trade Center, has sat unused for the last 17 years - even though high-rises sprouted around it, including the new One World Trade Center and the Oculus transportation hub.
