Sea-Tac International Airport is one of the hundreds of airports across the U.S. that have been shutdown on September 11, 2001, immediately after the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. were attacked. In the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor, three hijacked planes slammed into the Pentagon and New York's landmark World Trade Center on Tuesday, demolishing the two 110-story towers that symbolize U.S. financial might. The attacks brought normal life across the United States to a standstill, turning the major cities of the nation into eerie ghost towns. All financial markets were closed, millions of workers sent home early, all flights around the nation were canceled and all airports shut in an unprecedented move. REUTERS/Anthony P. Bolante
