Oh yea, I forgot about the pentagon plane, fair enough. In my memory it has been over shadowed by the twin towers attacks, which feels more of an attack on america / capitalism generally than democracy specifically.
No denying the Presidential assassinations were attacks on democracy here tho. I was only asking for 9/11 which you clarified.

Ya I actually thought all it did was knock down a wall but no, it killed quite a lot of people too
“ As millions watched the events unfolding in New York, American Airlines Flight 77 circled over downtown Washington, D.C., before crashing into the west side of the Pentagon military headquarters at 9:45 a.m.
Jet fuel from the Boeing 757 caused a devastating inferno that led to the structural collapse of a portion of the giant concrete building, which is the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense.
All told, 125 military personnel and civilians were killed in the Pentagon, along with all 64 people aboard the airliner”
I think the plane where the brave civilians sacrificed their lives to stop (flight 93) and went down in a field was speculated to be headed towards the Washington DC capital as well
