No dia 11 de setembro de 2001, o mundo inteiro parou para ver pela TV as imagens das duas torres gêmeas de Nova York repletas de fumaça. Vinte e cinco anos depois, as cenas do atentado permanecem entre as mais conhecidas e lembradas do século 21. Quase 3 mil pessoas morreram nos ataques, quando terroristas da Al Qaeda sequestraram e lançaram aviões em direção às torres do World Trade Center de Nova York e no Pentágono, sede do Departamento de Defesa dos Estados Unidos, localizado no condado de Arlington, Virgínia. Um quarto avião caiu na zona rural de Shanksville, no estado da Pensilvânia. Notícias relacionadas:Julgamento de suposto mentor do 11 de setembro é marcado para 2028.Segundo o professor Eugênio Bucci, da Escola de Comunicações e Artes da Universidade de São Paulo (USP), as imagens das torres desabando, transmitidas repetidas vezes, gerou um trauma em escala global. A televisão, ao vivo, em uma época em que a internet não era tão difundida, prendeu o público pela repetição. “Isso abriu uma ferida no olhar. Naquele dia, o olhar se tornou mutilado de guerra. O atentado conseguiu ferir todas as pessoas, tanto que todas as pessoas no mundo inteiro são capazes de se lembrar onde estavam quando tiveram notícia daquele acontecimento”, avalia o professor. . Bucci classifica a experiência como "tempo congelado", tanto pela TV ao vivo, como pela exibição em plataformas digitais. “A televisão ao vivo desenvolveu essa possibilidade, que é o congelamento do tempo. Se dá pela expansão de 1 segundo ou de poucos minutos em uma repetição que não cessa, toma horas, às vezes dias, e dá em todos os que estão conectados ali, dá essa relação distinta com o fluxo do tempo”, diz. Dois aviões comerciais se chocaram contra o World Trade Center, em Nova York. Reuters/Richard Cohen/Arquivo/Proibida reprodução A tragédia marcou a memória de pessoas de uma geração inteira. O empresário brasileiro Márcio Boruchowski trabalhava em um edifício perto das torres gêmeas. Para ele, o som do impacto dos prédios foi o mais marcante. “Eu vi uma série de pessoas se jogando, como se fosse um incêndio. A demora para cair foi muito chocante, isso ficou para sempre. O barulho que se faz quando cai uma ou duas torres de 100 andares é o maior decibel. Pensa no maior barulho que vocês ouviu na sua vida e transforma isso em 1 minuto 40 segundos eternamente”, lembrou em entrevista para a TV Brasil. Os aviões se chocaram a mais de 800 quilômetros por hora, causando uma série de explosões. Cerca de 400 mil pessoas foram expostas a poeira tóxica. A remoção de 1,8 milhão de toneladas de escombros levou cerca de oito meses. Julgamento Acusado de ser o mentor dos ataques, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, chefe de operações da Al Qaeda, deverá ser julgado por um tribunal militar em junho de 2028. Ele é acusado de orquestrar o plano para lançar aviões de passageiros sequestrados contra o World Trade Center, em Nova York, e contra o Pentágono. Ele foi preso em 2003, no Paquistão, e desde 2006 está na base de Guantánamo, em Cuba. Além de Mohammed, serão julgados três co-réus: Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak bin 'Atash, Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi e Ali Abdul Aziz Ali. Osama Bin Laden, fundador e líder da rede Al Qaeda, foi morto em 2011 pelas forças dos Estados Unidos em uma operação no interior do Paquistão. *Colaborou Gabriel Correa, da Rádio Nacional

Turkey has unveiled plans to more than triple its defence spending over the next three years, driven by regional conflicts and a desire for a greater security footprint across Europe and the Middle East. Rather than ramping up its purchases from Western allies, Nato’s second-largest military power will direct most of its 229 per cent budget increase between 2027 and 2029 towards expanding domestic production. Announcing the plan on Sunday, Vice-President Cevdet Yilmaz said the aim was to ensure...
Battle-testing modern weapon systems can come at a steep price: a country must send its forces to war. But for China’s 4.5-generation J-10CE fighter aircraft, exports have opened another route. Pakistan provided the aircraft’s first major combat test during its four-day conflict with India in May 2025, when Islamabad’s J-10CEs were used in an air battle. Two US officials told Reuters that at least two Indian aircraft were downed, including a French-built Rafale – though the precise losses,...

The United States is leaning on its coastguard to reinforce its presence in the West Pacific as its navy comes under increasing strain in the Middle East. Although this move may be seen as a lower-risk way of countering Beijing’s growing presence in the region, increasing US cooperation with the Taiwanese coastguard risks further mainland Chinese pressure on the island. Recently, the US announced that six fast-response cutters that had been based in the Middle East for more than 20 years would...
In a cramped workshop near the front in northeastern Ukraine, military mechanic “Chimera” is helping prepare his unit’s robot forces for battle. Lined up in a row, the four-wheeled unmanned vehicles known as “Hyenas” will crawl towards Russian lines with their payload of explosives and attack an enemy dugout or halt an advance. Similar models have captured Russian prisoners, said Chimera, 44, who asked to be identified by his call sign. “Imagine what 20kg (44 pounds) of explosives is like: it’s...
