Members of the Military District of Washington (MDW) Engineer Company (Technical Rescue) walk into the causeway between E ring and D ring of the Pentagon on September 12, 2001. They were in the middle of a secondary search for bodies, and just finished searching their sector of the D ring. The morning before, in an attempt to frighten the American people, five members of Al-Qaida, a terrorist group of fundamentalist Muslims, hijacked American Airlines Flight 77, then flew a circuitous route returning to Washington and impacting the Pentagon killing all 64 passengers onboard and 125 people on the ground. The impact destroyed or damaged four of the five rings in that section of the building. Firefighters fought the fire through the night. (Photo courtesy of National Archives)
