US Marks 25 Years Since 9/11 Attacks That Killed 2,977 People
The United States is marking 25 years since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, which killed 2,977 people at sites in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania. Families of victims, survivors, first responders and officials are gathering at the National September 11 Memorial, the Pentagon and the Flight 93 National Memorial. Relatives are reading the names of those killed, while moments of silence mark key points from the attacks. Al-Qaeda hijackers seized four commercial aircraft on September 11, 2001. Two planes struck the World Trade Centre, one hit the Pentagon, and another crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers and crew tried to stop the hijackers. The anniversary also honours people who later died from illnesses linked to toxic dust from the tower collapses. The attacks reshaped US security, aviation rules, intelligence operations and foreign policy for decades.
