New York Marks 25th Anniversary of 9/11 Attacks
Families will read victims’ names as the ceremony adds a seventh moment of silence for those who later died from 9/11-related illnesses.
- On Friday, the nation marked the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks with nationwide ceremonies, including a New York City memorial attended by four former presidents—Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Bill Clinton—and a Pentagon observance joined by President Donald Trump.
- Nineteen al-Qaida terrorists hijacked four airplanes on Sept. 11, 2001, crashing two into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon, and one into a Pennsylvania field, killing 2,977 victims and prompting sweeping changes to U.S. security policy.
- Concluding a 10,500-mile tour, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation transported a 16,900-pound steel beam from the South Tower to more than 35 cities in at least 21 states before bringing it to Ground Zero on Friday.
- Ground Zero ceremonies added a new silent moment honoring those who died from illnesses linked to toxic exposure; reports indicate at least 2,833 first responders and survivors have died from these conditions since the attacks.
- Twenty-Three years after his capture, 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed still awaits trial, while the annual Tribute in Light installation continues projecting twin beams skyward as an iconic visual marker of the anniversary.
