HISTORY WAS MADE ON THIS DAY IN 2001

911f

The September 11 attacks were the deadliest terrorist attacks in
human history, causing the deaths of 2,996 people, including
2,977 victims and 19 hijackers who committed murder–suicide.

Thousands more were injured, and long-term health effects have
arisen as a consequence of the attacks.
New York City took the
brunt of the death toll when the Twin Towers of the
World Trade
Center
complex in Lower Manhattan were attacked, with an
estimated 1,600 victims from the
North Tower and around a
thousand from the
South Tower.

Two hundred miles southwest in Arlington County, Virginia,
another 125 were killed in
the Pentagon. The remaining 265
fatalities included the ninety-two passengers and crew of
American Airlines Flight 11, the sixty-five aboard United
Airlines Flight 175
, the sixty-four on American Airlines Flight
77
and the forty-four who boarded United Airlines Flight 93.

The attack on the World Trade Center’s North Tower alone
made the September 11 attacks the deadliest act of terrorism
in human history.

FIRST DRUNK DRIVING ARREST ON THIS DAY

On September 10, 1897, a 25-year-old London taxi driver named
George Smith became the
first person ever arrested for drunk
driving
after slamming his cab into a building. Smith later
pleaded guilty and was fined 25 shillings.

In the United States, the first laws against operating a motor
vehicle while under the influence of alcohol went into effect in
New York in 1910. In 1936, Dr. Rolla Harger, a professor of
biochemistry and toxicology, patented the Drunkometer, a
balloon-like device into which people would breathe to
determine whether they were inebriated.

In 1953, Robert Borkenstein, a former Indiana state police captain
and university professor who had collaborated with Harger on
the Drunkometer, invented the Breathalyzer.
