> Twenty-five years ago, Tom Brokaw anchored an NBC News Special Report after terrorists hijacked four commercial planes and launched coordinated attacks in the United States. Two hit the World Trade Center towers, one struck the Pentagon, and a fourth crashed in a Shanksville, Pennsylvania, field after passengers and crew fought back, killing nearly 3,000 people.
