Today, New Yorkers gathered at the 9/11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan to honor the 24th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Families of victims, first responders, and city officials came together in a solemn ceremony to pay tribute to the nearly 3,000 lives lost.
The event featured moments of silence, the reading of victims’ names, and the symbolic placement of flowers at the memorial pools. Many attendees described the atmosphere as deeply emotional yet inspiring, a reminder of the resilience and unity of the city.
“Every year, we come together to remember those we lost and to honor the courage of the heroes who saved lives,” said a city official during the ceremony.
The tribute continues throughout the day with ongoing remembrances across the city, culminating in the iconic Tribute in Light illuminating the skyline tonight.
