    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    In 2007, former Director of Central Intelligence George Tenet said, "We could never verify that there was any Iraqi authority, direction and control, complicity with al-Qaeda for 9/11 or any operational act against America, period." A 2003 Washington Post poll, however, revealed that 30% of Americans believed that Al Qaeda was connected to former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein.

    Explanation
    Two planes (American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175) crashed into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center and one plane (American Airlines Flight 77) crashed into the Pentagon. However, the passengers of the final hijacked plane (United Airlines Flight 93) fought back and the hijackers crashed the plane into a former coal mine near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

    Explanation
    U.S. homeland security secretary Janet Napolitano falsely stated in 2009, "To the extent that terrorists have come into our country or suspected or known terrorists have entered our country across a border, it’s been across the Canadian border. There are real issues there. (…) Not just [the 9/11 hijackers] but others as well." However, the 9/11 Commission has determined that the hijackers came to the United States from overseas.

    Explanation
    AT&T developed the 911 emergency contact number. This was in response to the need for a centralized emergency number that people could call in case of emergencies. AT&T played a crucial role in establishing this system, which has since become a vital lifeline for people in distress.  The technology of 911 has changed over time, but Haleyville's call proved the concept worked.
