On 11 September 2001, terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners in the United States. Two were rammed into the twin towers of the World Trade Centre in New York City and a third into the Pentagon in Washington, DC. Passengers on the fourth plane fought with the hijackers, but it crashed in Pennsylvania with the loss of all on board.

In the most devastating terrorist attack in history, the world's tallest building had been reduced to rubble and some 3,000 people blasted or crushed to death. The Times called it ‘The day that changed the modern world'. Another newspaper claimed, 'History will never be the same again.' In a CNN Time Warner poll taken three months later, 73% of those interviewed said, 'It has changed everything for ever.'

As the media teemed with speculation as to how such a thing could have happened, and what the repercussions might be, many people were asking one inescapable question: Where was God on September 11?
