Families of 9/11 victims gathered to honor the memory of their loved ones at the World Trade Center for the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
The 20th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were marked around the globe by tearful ceremonies and somber tributes. Officials reflected on the lessons learned after 9/11 and how that resilience can be relied upon again to revive the U.S. as it continues to grapple with a crippling pandemic.
Back then, the world froze as four hijacked planes slammed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field and brought nearly 3,000 people to their deaths. Lower Manhattan was torn to pieces, residents unsure if it would ever recover. Washington was under attack. Americans were terrified. Global markets plunged.
In the two decades since, foreign policy has been upended. Security measures at global borders, airports and office buildings reshaped travel and international business. New York City was transformed.
The echoes of the destruction wrought on 9/11 -- and what it took to rebuild after -- weren’t lost on those gathering Saturday at Ground Zero, resounding the message by New York Governor Kathy Hochul: “We never forget, but we go forth into the future steeled in the conviction that yes, we were knocked down, but we are never out. Whether it’s a terrorist attack, whether it’s the pandemic.”
Hochul joined President Joe Biden, the Obamas, the Clintons and other U.S. officials at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum to read the names of those killed in the attack. The annual reading -- which was attended by 8,500 people -- is held by the nonprofit, chaired by former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the founder and majority owner of Bloomberg LP, the parent company of Bloomberg News.
Former President George W. Bush joined Vice President Kamala Harris at a memorial for those lost in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, while messages of unity from world leaders including U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau streamed in.
