On Saturday, 瓜神app will air NPR coverage of events commemorating the 20^th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.

Terrorist attacks that day marked the deadliest assault on American soil. Between the attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and a hijacked flight that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, nearly 3,000 people were killed. Using technology, more victims are today.

The events of that day in 2001 led to U.S. troops invading Afghanistan, and to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security.

NPR鈥檚 coverage on 瓜神app begins Saturday on 鈥淲eekend Edition鈥� with host Scott Simon who will be joined by NPR correspondents Ron Elving, Asma Khalid, Jasmine Garsd and Scott Detrow.
