On September 11, 2021, Americans across the nation will honor the victims of the 2,996 people who died from the terror attacks on 9/11 and those who have died since from 9/11-related illnesses.
The ceremony will include the reading of the names by family members in-person and several moments of silence, starting at 8:46am when American Airline Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, and at 9:03am when United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower.
At 9:40am a third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, crashed into the Pentagon, and at 10:03am when United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
At sundown, the annual “Tribute in Light” will once again illuminate the sky in commemoration of the attacks from two 48-foot squares comprised of nearly 89,000 lights visible for some 60 miles around Manhattan.
