1. September 11th in 2001
- the very fateful day that struck worldwide headlines in all newspapers that Osama carried out 2 secret planes crashing missions in WTC (World Trade Centre) in New York City, USA.
2. Emergency hotline
- an emergency helpline in many countries providing immediate assistance in very true, crucial situations. Misuse of 911 "under non-emergency" circumstances may result in a criminal charge.
You can check out "911" details online and you'll find that many info will relate you to plane crash or emergency hotlines issues.

It's used two ways in the U.S.
1. It's the emergency number to get a dispatcher. If something needs immediate attention because of a crime or health related issue, the people are suppose to call this number.
2. Refered to just 9-11, it means the attacks by Al-Qaeda on September 11, 2001, otherwise written 9-11-01, on U.S. soil which destroyed 4 jetliners, the World Trade Center in New York and part the military complex known as the Pentagon.

As stated above, it's an emergency number in the United States. It's not the only short cut number.
211 - Connect to social services information
311 - Non-emergency police number
411 - Information
611 - Local Phone Provider
711 - Relay Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.
It varies by state as well as locally, so this list isn't accurate everywhere.
