U.S. Marks 25th Anniversary of Sept. 11 Attacks
Ceremonies include a seventh moment of silence for the roughly 9,000 people who have died from 9/11-related illness, organizers said.
- On Friday, September 11, 2026, Americans marked the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks with ceremonies nationwide. President Donald Trump observed the day at the Pentagon, while Vice President JD Vance joined four former presidents at Ground Zero in New York City.
- Nineteen al-Qaida terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners in 2001, crashing them into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The coordinated attacks killed 2,977 people and reshaped U.S. security policy and foreign relations.
- Beyond those killed on September 11, more than 9,400 people have died from 9/11-related illnesses. Organizers added a seventh moment of silence this year to honor victims exposed to toxic dust after the towers collapsed.
- Despite criticism from some Republicans regarding his past political associations, New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani attended the Ground Zero ceremony. Mamdani stated he wanted the anniversary to focus on victims' families, first responders, and New Yorkers who helped one another after the attacks.
- Approximately 100 million Americans are too young to remember the 2001 attacks, prompting museums and memorials to prioritize education this year. These institutions emphasize understanding the tragedy to help prevent future acts of terror.
