VICTIMS OF TERRORIST ATTACK ON THE PENTAGON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 | |
The Victims of Terrorist Attack on the Pentagon Memorial is a memorial over a group burial site at Arlington National Cemetery in the United States. It commemorates the victims of the attack on the Pentagon, which was struck by a Boeing 757 commercial airliner hijacked by five al-Qaeda terrorists on September 11, 2001, killing 184 people (excluding the hijackers). The memorial specifically honors the five individuals for whom no identifiable remains were found.[1] However, a portion of the remains of 25 other victims are buried at the site.[2] The names of the 115 Pentagon employees and 10 contractors in the building,[3] as well as the 53 passengers and six crew members aboard American Airlines Flight 77 (which crashed into the building) are inscribed on the memorial.[4]
