New York Commemorates September 11 Victims

New York commemorates victims of the September 11 tragedy in 200, when resulting from a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center 3 thousand were killed. The mourning ceremony will start with a minute of silence at 8.46 a.m., when the first plane hijacked by the terrorists crashed into one of the twin skyscrapers. Then bells will ring in New York churches.

Names of all established victims of the wreckage of the World Trade Center will again read today. Rays of two searchlights will be aimed in the sky from the empty space, where the buildings symbolizing New York’s business power once were. That place is now called the zero mark, where the building of over 500-meter-high Freedom Tower have already begun, reports RIA Novosti.
