New York is preparing ceremonies across the city to mark 25 years since the attacks on the World Trade Center. The anniversary will include a seventh minute of silence, adding another moment to the ritual of remembrance.
The main ceremony will take place on Friday, September 11, at the 9/11 Memorial on the site of the former World Trade Center. Organizers will read the names of those killed in the attacks, in which hijacked planes crashed into the towers and nearly 3,000 people died.
The ceremony will also remember the victims of the 1993 terrorist attack, when a truck bomb exploded in a garage beneath the World Trade Center’s North Tower. The focus, however, will remain on remembering the victims of the 2001 attacks.
