The term "911" can refer to two main things depending on the context:
- The 9/11 Terrorist Attacks : This refers to the coordinated terrorist attacks by al-Qaeda on the United States on September 11, 2001. Nineteen terrorists hijacked four commercial airplanes, crashing two into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, one into the Pentagon near Washington, DC, and the fourth in a field in Pennsylvania after passengers intervened. These attacks killed 2,977 people and led to the U.S. launching a global war on terror
- The Porsche 911 : This is a famous German sports car model first introduced in 1964 by Porsche AG. The 911 has gone through many generations and remains a high-performance rear-engine sports car known for its distinctive design and engineering. It was originally called the Porsche 901 but was renamed 911 due to a trademark dispute. The car has continuously evolved since its debut and remains in production as of today
