The image of Putin signing a condolence wall to the foreign fatalities should be replaced or deleted, because he himself is responsible for a huge number of terrorist attacks on other countries. It is disrespectful to have this picture up when another photo could be worthwhile. 95.90.211.72 (talk) 14:49, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the article, it says the youngest victim of the attacks was 2-year-old Christine Lee Hanson aboard United Airlines Flight 175 . However, Lauren Grandcolas was pregnant with an unborn child aboard United Airlines Flight 93. Both Grandcolas and her unborn child are credited as victims of the attacks at Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York. I believe this should be changed. Brandondsantos (talk) 21:27, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually 15 women murdered at 9/11 were pregnant with children. 11 would of been viable births. The ladies were 6 to 9 months pregnant. 4 would not of been viable 1-5 months gestation. Because of the lunatics surrounding abortion rights with a hate for children not born. The viable 11 were never added to the 9/11 totals. They should of been. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1015:A012:9074:E348:9FF:EFB6:4430 (talk) 22:44, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the WTC subsection of the Fatalities section, the name list starting with Bill Biggart and ending with Dan Trant is gramatically incorrect and needs to be flipped around to Occupation -> Name and separated with commas. 2600:8800:1383:7900:C5D9:E133:560E:C899 (talk) 04:46, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are multiple unsourced or incorrect statistics here. For example, there's a single Georgian citizen listed as a casualty, but it is not corroborated by any sources I've searched. Might need to take a look into this 176.221.207.244 (talk) 10:23, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The deaths at Pearl Harbor a total of 2,403 innocent victims by terrorists from Japan on December 7,1941 was surpassed by the terrorist attack on 9/11 with 2,977. Pearl Harbor was an act of terrorism as no declaration of war was sent by the terrorists from Japan who declared war hours after the attack started. 2600:1015:A026:D971:D080:1D64:A4EF:A7C9 (talk) 13:22, 1 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What change did you want made to the article?

Obviously for the article to say the 9/11 attacks causing the deaths of 2,977 Americans became the no 1 Terror attack surpassing The Japanese terror attack of December 7,1941 killing 2,403 Americans an attack before a declaration of war was issued by the government of Japan.  One of the main reasons why the U.S. Military was taken by complete surprise. 2600:1015:A011:E0DA:1954:9ADC:7963:9E2 (talk) 05:08, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They don't need to. Any strike against a country without a declaration of war is considered a terror attack. 2600:1015:A011:E0DA:1954:9ADC:7963:9E2 (talk) 12:56, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
