On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda(基地组织) launched a terrorist attack on the US. They hijacked (劫持) four passenger planes and planned to hit three targets. Two planes flew to crash into the World Trade Center, one to the Pentagon, and the last to Washington D.C. The last plane was the only one that missed its target because the passengers on the plane managed to overcome the hijackers. The most destructive attack was the one on the World Trade Center, which claimed 2,606 lives.

【知识点拨】
▲I was about to go up when I decided to get a coffee first.我正准备上去时，突然决定先喝一杯咖啡。
be about to 意为“忙于；即将做某事”，侧重于表示动作马上就要发生，常与when引导的从句连用，但不与具体的时间状语连用。
如：
One of my friends is about to have her second baby.
我的一个朋友马上就要生第二个小孩了。
