1 day agoNew moment of silence to be added to 9/11 commemoration ceremony this year
A new moment of silence will honor victims who died from 9/11 health effects during the 25th annual commemoration ceremony.
Thursday marks 24 years since the September 11, 2001 terror attacks that forever changed New York City, the nation, and the world. On that tragic morning, al Qaeda hijackers crashed four passenger planes into the World Trade Center in Manhattan, the Pentagon in Virginia, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 lives were lost in the 2001 attacks, along with the six lives taken in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
