This morning victims’ names were read at the World Trade Center as the nation remembered the nearly 3,000 lives that were lost in the worse terrorist attack in U.S. history. This morning’s commemoration began with a moment of silence and tolling bells at 8:46 a.m. It’s the time when a terrorist-piloted plane slammed into the World Trade Center’s north tower.
The memorial was opened only for the family members this morning.
A second bell tolled at 9:03 a.m. to mark the moment a second terrorist-piloted plane slammed into the World Trade Center’s south tower. A third bell tolled at 9:37 a.m. to mark the moment a plane slammed into the Pentagon.
