September 11 remembrance ceremony in NYC honors victims killed 25 years ago
NEW YORK (WABC) -- This year marks 25 years since the 9/11 terror attack, and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum will hold its annual commemoration ceremony to remember the victims. Families of victims will gather for the ceremony on the 9/11 Memorial Plaza to read aloud the names of the 2,983 men, women, and children killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks and the February 26, 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Six moments of silence will mark the times when each of the World Trade Center towers was struck, when each tower fell, and the times corresponding to the attack at the Pentagon, and the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. A new seventh moment of silence will be observed at the conclusion of the reading of the names, and will be a permanent part of the annual ceremony. The recognition comes as more than 9,000 people have now died from 9/11-related illnesses, nearly three times the number killed on September 11 itself, according to the World Trade Center Health Program.
