Annual 9/11 remembrance ceremony honors victims killed 23 years ago
Kemberly Richardson has reactions of families remembering their loved ones in today's ceremony.
NEW YORK (WABC) -- The National September 11 Memorial & Museum hosted its annual commemoration ceremony to observe the 23rd anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, honoring the 2,983 men, women, and children killed in the 2001 attacks at the World Trade Center site, the Pentagon, aboard Flight 93, and those killed in the February 26, 1993, World Trade Center bombing.
The September 11 commemoration on Wednesday was for family members of the victims, who are invited as always to participate in the reading of the names.
Families of those killed clutched photographs of their loved ones, leaving flowers by their names at the 9/11 memorial and take rubbings where the names are etched on parapets surrounding the pools.
Many of the names were read aloud by a generation of children who never met the people killed in the attack -- instead they share memories preserved by family lore.

After their feisty debate, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump shared a decidedly more somber moment when they joined President Joe Biden and other dignitaries to mark 23 years since the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
The second Harris-Trump handshake in less than 24 hours made the ceremony a temporary focal point of the campaign but it is meant to be free of politics.
There were no speeches, only the solemn recitation of names interrupted by the rolling of a bell to mark the times planes hit the World Trade Center and when the towers fell.
Organizers said the main focus of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum remains the annual commemoration ceremony as family members gather on the Memorial plaza to remember their loved ones.
Throughout the ceremony, six moments of silence were observed, acknowledging when each of the World Trade Center towers was struck and fell, and the times corresponding to the attack on the Pentagon and the crash of United Airlines Flight 93.

And the Fireman Dude I love still, was destroyed by his attempts to rescue people. He died a year or two later.
God, Let them know in Heaven how sorry we are. How much we miss them.
And please let us know the ones we saw jumping were actually carried by angels into your arms.
In Jesus name we pray. And for all the surviviving loved ones of those lost that horrific day.
RE: 9/11 - Charon - 09-11-2024
Many a fireman whom rushed to the scene to search thru rubble were covered in the poisons. They do not have their names on any plaques but are carved onto our hearts.
Bring peace and comfort to any whom lost love ones that day and in the months following.
Watching them jump, I could only pray that Gods angels were catching them. I never asked Fireman Dude about the bodies he carried.
I could not.
I do remember the fire at a sewing company. In the heart of the City. A few were saved and they said they saw a well dressed man in older clothes extending his arm to help them jump.
Years before. I was a history and psych major and a NY girl forever. I studied this and wrote papers on this throughout the colleges I attended.
If you want to know, look it up online. But be prepared to have your heart broken.

At approximately 8:46 a.m. on a clear Tuesday morning, an American Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashes into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact left a gaping, burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110-story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors.
As the evacuation of the tower and its twin got underway, television cameras broadcasted live images of what initially appeared to be a freak accident. Then, 17 minutes after the first plane hit, a second Boeing 767—United Airlines Flight 175—appeared out of the sky, turned sharply toward the World Trade Center, and sliced into the south tower at about the 60th floor. The collision caused a massive explosion that showered burning debris over surrounding buildings and the streets below. America was under attack.

September 11th: Why We Remember
The attackers were Islamic terrorists from Saudi Arabia and several other Arab nations. Reportedly financed by Saudi fugitive Osama bin Laden’s al Qaeda terrorist organization, they were allegedly acting in retaliation for America’s support of Israel, its involvement in the Persian Gulf War, and its continued military presence in the Middle East. Some of the terrorists had lived in the United States for more than a year and had taken flying lessons at American commercial flight schools. Others had slipped into the U.S. in the months before September 11 and acted as the “muscle” in the operation. The 19 terrorists easily smuggled box-cutters and knives through security at three East Coast airports and boarded four flights bound for California, chosen because the planes were loaded with fuel for the long transcontinental journey. Soon after takeoff, the terrorists commandeered the four planes and took the controls, transforming the ordinary commuter jets into guided missiles.
As millions watched in horror the events unfolding in New York, American Airlines Flight 77 circled over downtown Washington, D.C. and slammed into the west side of the Pentagon military headquarters at 9:37 a.m. Jet fuel from the Boeing 757 caused a devastating inferno that led to a structural collapse of a portion of the giant concrete building. All told, 125 military personnel and civilians were killed in the Pentagon along with all 64 people aboard the airliner.
More than 15 minutes after the terrorists struck the nerve center of the U.S. military, the horror in New York took a catastrophic turn for the worse when the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed in a massive cloud of dust and smoke. The structural steel of the skyscraper, built to withstand winds in excess of 200 mph and a large conventional fire, could not withstand the tremendous heat generated by the burning jet fuel. At 10:28 a.m., the other Trade Center tower collapsed. Close to 3,000 people died in the World Trade Center and its vicinity, including a staggering 343 firefighters and paramedics, 23 New York City police officers, and 37 Port Authority police officers who were struggling to complete an evacuation of the buildings and save the office workers trapped on higher floors. Only six people in the World Trade Center towers at the time of their collapse survived. Almost 10,000 other people were treated for injuries, many severe.

Meanwhile, a fourth California-bound plane—United Flight 93—was hijacked about 40 minutes after leaving Newark International Airport in New Jersey. Because the plane had been delayed in taking off, passengers on board learned of events in New York and Washington via cell phone and Airfone calls to the ground. Knowing that the aircraft was not returning to an airport as the hijackers claimed, a group of passengers and flight attendants planned an insurrection. One of the passengers, Thomas Burnett, Jr., told his wife over the phone that “I know we’re all going to die. There’s three of us who are going to do something about it. I love you, honey.” Another passenger—Todd Beamer—was heard saying “Are you guys ready? Let’s roll” over an open line. Sandy Bradshaw, a flight attendant, called her husband and explained that she had slipped into a galley and was filling pitchers with boiling water. Her last words to him were “Everyone’s running to first class. I’ve got to go. Bye.”
The passengers fought the four hijackers and are suspected to have attacked the cockpit with a fire extinguisher. The plane then flipped over and sped toward the ground at upwards of 500 miles per hour, crashing in a rural field in western Pennsylvania at 10:03 a.m. All 45 people aboard were killed. Its intended target is not known, but theories include the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland, or one of several nuclear power plants along the eastern seaboard.

At 7 p.m., President George W. Bush, who had spent the day being shuttled around the country because of security concerns, returned to the White House. At 9 p.m., he delivered a televised address from the Oval Office, declaring “Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.” In a reference to the eventual U.S. military response he declared: “We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.”
Operation Enduring Freedom, the U.S.-led international effort to oust the Taliban regime in Afghanistan and destroy Osama bin Laden’s terrorist network based there, began on October 7, 2001. Bin Laden was killed during a raid of his compound in Pakistan by U.S. forces on May 2, 2011.

This American Airlines flight attendant wings lapel pin belonged to Karyn Ramsey, friend and colleague of 28-year-old Sara Elizabeth Low, who was working aboard Flight 11, which crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. Following the memorial service for Sara, Karyn pinned her own service wing on Sara’s father, Mike Low. Mike Low would refer to the lapel pin as “Karyn’s wings.” Watch this video to learn more.

It was am awful day. I remember every bit of it.
"Never Forget"
It's been 23 years and not much being broadcast or talked about, that I've seen. Too busy trolling Taylor Swift for her voting choices.
My thoughts all day are with FDNY Engine 4 Ladder 15. They lost 15 guys from the firehouse that day. The last recording was them on the 74th floor of the South Tower. They knew the other tower had fallen but still went bravely in to do their jobs.
Their families got nothing back to bury at funerals. Every person I know with FDNY was exhausted from attending funerals 2 months later.
They are HEROES and always will be. That is what I will never forget.
