Sub - Question 1
“Profound consequences” means far - reaching, significant, and having a deep - seated impact. After 9/11, the profound consequences included a major shift in US foreign policy (such as the War on Terror, invasion of Afghanistan), a significant increase in national security measures (like the creation of the Department of Homeland Security), a change in global geopolitics, a rise in anti - Muslim sentiment and Islamophobia, and a transformation of the airline industry's security protocols.
On 9/11, of the four hijacked planes: American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center; United Airlines Flight 175 hit the South Tower of the World Trade Center; American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon; United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania (as passengers fought the hijackers, preventing it from reaching its likely target, possibly the White House or Capitol).
In the 9/11 attacks, the official death toll is approximately 2,977 people. This includes those who died in the World Trade Center towers, at the Pentagon, and on the four planes (including the hijackers, but the count of innocent victims is around 2,973 when excluding the 19 hijackers).
