US Marks 25 Years Since the Sept. 11 Attacks, 'Moments that Divide Time'
Memorials add a new tribute for people who later died from illnesses linked to toxic dust, as half of U.S. adults call 9/11 their most historic event.
- On Friday, Americans are commemorating the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks with wreath-layings, moments of silence, vigils, and volunteer projects nationwide, honoring the day Congress designated as Patriot Day.
- Al-Qaida extremists hijacked four commercial jets on that day in 2001, crashing them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a Pennsylvania field. The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people and triggered sweeping changes to U.S. security, surveillance, and air travel.
- New York Police Department Officer Casey Kloepfer honors his father, Officer Ronald Kloepfer, who responded to the towers that day. The 29-year-old wears his father's badge number and said, "It's big footsteps to fill, but it's definitely something that I take very seriously."
- This year's ground zero ceremony adds a silent moment for victims of toxic dust-related illnesses, a first-time tribute. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani faces criticism from Republican ex-Governor George Pataki for attending, though Mamdani said he wants to focus on "victims families, first responders and New Yorkers who helped one another."
- President Donald Trump plans to attend the Pentagon's anniversary ceremony Friday, while Vice President JD Vance is expected at the National September 11 Memorial. Commemorations span from Mount Washington in New Hampshire to Honolulu, underscoring the attack's enduring national reach.
