Not only the terrorist attacked World Trade Center, they also attacked the Pentagon at 9:45 am, where the flight crashed into the west side of the Pentagon.

The third attack, however, failed as the flight got delayed in taking off and the passengers already came to know that the flight is hijacked and much destruction has been caused by other terrorists. The Passengers fought the terrorists and saved the city from third attack but unfortunately the plane flipped and crashed into the ground in a rural field at 500 mph in Pennsylvania at 10:10 am. All people on board were killed. 

2996 people died in the attack including 19 terrorists who hijacked the planes.
