Remembering 9/11
September 20, 2020
This past week was the 19th anniversary of the day that the Twin Towers fell in New York City. With flags at half-staff around the nation, family members of 9/11 victims gathered on the Memorial Plaza while following state and federal guidelines regarding Covid-19 in New York City.
They observed 6 minutes of silence to remember when the Twin Towers fell, the attack on the Pentagon, and the crash of the United Airlines flight 93.
According to an article written by CNN, "At 8:46 a.m. ET in New York, the time the first plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center, a moment of silence was held at the site, with uniformed first responders and families honoring loved ones donning masks as an eerie siren blared in the distance. Unlike previous years, when the site of the attacks filled with people and victims' names were read by family members from a stage, the prerecorded names were played over speakers to avoid close contact."
All those that were lost 19 years ago on September 11th, 2001, will never be forgotte
