This cache is hidden near the 9/11 Remembered Memorial on the Greenbelt Trail. The difficulty level was raised due to high muggle penetration during the work week and work hours.
The September 11, 2001 attacks consisted of a series of coordinated suicide attacks by al-Qaeda upon the United States of America. On that morning nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial passenger jets. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the airliners (American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175) into the World Trade Center in New York City, one plane into each tower, resulting in the collapse of both buildings soon afterward and extensive damage to nearby buildings. The hijackers crashed a third airliner (American Airlines Flight 77) into the Pentagon. Passengers and members of the flight crew on the fourth aircraft (United Airlines Flight 93) attempted to retake control of their plane from the hijackers; that plane crashed into a field near the town of Shanksville in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Aside from the 19 hijackers, 2,999 people died.
