How did newspapers cover the attacks of September 11, 2001?

 

The entire world seemed to be watching as the events of September 11, 2001 unfolded -- first the attacks on the World Trade Center, then the Pentagon, then the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in rural Pennsylvania. It was a day full of ongoing horror that was covered in the media unlike any day before it.
After the initial shock of the day's events wore off, people began demanding answers: How did this happen? How many were killed? Now what?
Newspapers around the country and world took on the job of trying to make some sense of the attacks. Images of the burning twin towers were plastered on newsstands everywhere, below passionate headlines of 'Outrage,' 'Terror!' and 'It's War.'

Few questions were answered immediately -- one British newspaper wrote that 20,000 were feared dead, and though many were quick to point to terrorism, Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda didn't claim responsibility for the attacks until several years later.
In the days and weeks following the attacks, information became clearer and more readily available. Now, 15 years later, that fateful Tuesday seems like ages ago for some, but like yesterday for others. Click through the slideshow above to look back on how the events of 9/11 were covered worldwide.
