American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon which collapsed the western side of the Pentagon. United Flight 93 was supposed to crash into United States Capital, but did not do so instead crashed into a field in Shanksville Pennsylvania. Due to the events that took place on 9/11 George W. Bush signed the USA Patriot Act on October 26, 2011 (9/11, 2001-2013).
