America Remembers
Twin Towers of light will rise over Manhattan as America marks 14th anniversary of 9/11
A name-reading ceremony will be held at Memorial Plaza in Manhattan Thursday morning, punctuated by six moments of silence. This year, the Memorial Plaza will be open to the public on September 11 from 6am until midnight. Tribute in Light will illuminate the skies over the Financial District from sunset to early Friday morning. A ceremony of remembrance will take place at Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Relatives of those who perished in Pentagon will take part in private memorial attended by President Obama.
Two blue columns of light representing the devastated World Trade Center illuminated the skies over Lower Manhattan Wednesday night – a vivid tribute to the nearly 3,000 slain innocents - as the United Stated prepared to mark the 13th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
Like every year, relatives of victims will come together at the 9/11 Memorial Plaza for a somber name-reading ceremony honoring every one of the people who perished in the attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and inside the plane that crashed in rural Pennsylvania.
During the ceremony, six moments of silence will be observed marking the strikes on the towers, and the Pentagon, the collapse of the skyscrapers and the time Flight 93 went down in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Honor the victims and heroes of 9/11!
Moments of silence will mark the 8:46 a.m. impact of American Airlines Flight 11's crash into the north tower and the 9:03 a.m. crash of United Airlines Flight 175 into the World Trade Center's south tower.
The 9/11 attack killed 2,753 people in New York, including 403 police and firefighters.
At the Pentagon, where American Airlines Flight 77 crashed at 9:37 a.m. on September 11, President Obama will speak at a private observance for family members of the 184 people who died there.
In southwestern Pennsylvania, it is only expected to take 18 minutes to lay a wreath and read the names of 40 people, beginning at 9:45 a.m. and ending at 10:03 a.m. That is the time United Airlines Flight 93 crashed into a field near Shanksville.
A bomb sniffing dog named Sirius also died at the WTC.
In 2007, the New York City medical examiner's office began to add people to the official death toll who died of illnesses caused by exposure to dust from the site. The first such victim was a woman who had died in February 2002 from a lung condition. In 2009, a man who died in 2008 was added, and in 2011 a man who died in 2010.
Many more people have died since as a result of exposure to 9/11 dust at Ground Zero.

Never Forget - 15 Years Later
Two of the passenger jets brought down the Twin Towers of New York City's World Trade Center, another hit the Pentagon outside Washington and a fourth crashed in a field in Pennsylvania when passengers aboard that flight fought back against the hijackers.
At Ground Zero in New York where the towers once stood, the annual reading of the list of 2,983 people killed at the three sites begis at 8:39 a.m.
It takes more than 190 people three hours to read the list alphabetically.
Moments of silence are observed at 8:46 a.m., 9:03 a.m., 9:37 a.m. and 10:03 a.m., the times of impact for the four planes, and again at 9:59 a.m. and 10:28 a.m., the times that the South Tower and then the North Tower fell.
Let us Never Forget them.
Never Forget - 11 Years Later
The National September 11 Memorial, built directly over the Twin Towers site, invokes a feeling of peace and serenity amidst the everyday chaos of New York with 400 white oaks and two illuminated reflecting pools.
The memorial officially opened to the public on September 12, 2011, and the museum opens on September 11, 2012.
The names of 2,983 victims are inscribed on 76 bronze plates attached to the parapet walls which form the edges of the memorial pools.

Christmas Tributes at 9/11 Memorial
Source: Fox News.
With the first Christmas approaching since the 9/11 Memorial opened last September 11, holiday greens, wreaths, red berries, bows, and Christmas stockings are appearing to mark the season.
There's the little glass jar filled with sand from a special Oahu beach, left for the young Hawaii native, and the collection of red cotton scarves for "the man in the red bandana" who led so many others to safety but never made it out himself.
Elsewhere in the tapestry of tributes left at the 9/11 Memorial are notes in children's handwriting saying things like "Daddy, we miss you," first responder badges from around the world, family pictures, flags, sealed letters, flight attendant wings, rosaries, even a CD of hits by The Who.
Maile Rachel Hale, for example, was a 26-year-old Honolulu native and Wesleyan graduate working in the financial industry in Boston who was attending a conference at Windows on the World on the morning of September 11, 2001.
Next to her name, visitors left a collection of what she loved: a glass jar of sand with a label saying it was from Malaekahana Beach, a pair of ballet slippers to reflect her passion for dance, a small bag of M&Ms because she was a chocolate fanatic, several leis, a collection of notes and a soccer ball signed "For Maile from Elise."
At Welles Crowther's name, it's the red bandanas – at least three of them. On 9/11, when Flight 175 hit the South Tower at the 78th floor, a number of survivors said a young man appeared with a red bandana around his face and personally escorted or carried them off that floor and got them started to floors below. Then he kept going back up to help other people.
For LeRoy W. Homer, Jr., co-pilot of Flight 93, which crashed in a Pennsylvania field, someone left a small balsa wood airplane with a paper flower attached.
And Who fan John Joseph Ryan was honored with a CD of their songs inscribed "I think of you every time I hear your favorites! Miss you! PR"
At the Survivor Tree, a callery pear so named because it survived the 9/11 attack, then was nursed back to health and replanted – someone left a red-ribboned wreath with badges from eight different first responder units, some as far afield as Wyoming and Rhode Island.
9/11 Memorial has 500,000 Visitors
The National September 11 Memorial and Museum reached a milestone this week, with half a million visitors from more than 100 countries worldwide since its big opening just over two months ago.
Tribute to the Children who lost their lives on 9/11
This is a very emotional tribute video to 9/11's youngest victims. In all, eight children died that day. Five were passengers on American Airlines Flight 77 and three were on United Flight 175.
9/11 Victims Remains
An emotionally laden debate over the future resting place of thousands of unidentified remains of Sept. 11 victims is lingering as the attacks' 10th anniversary recedes, with several relatives saying they aren't satisfied with a recent city effort to spread the word about a plan to house the remains in the forthcoming 9/11 museum.
Under pressure from families who oppose the plan, the city outlined it in a letter sent last week to relatives of all the nearly 2,800 people killed at the World Trade Center. The letter came after 17 relatives sued the city to try to get addresses so they could poll the families themselves.
A judge rejected their request last week, but the city, which has maintained that the plans have long been known and families approved them, sent out the letters in hopes of resolving the matter.
"We know how profoundly significant and sensitive this matter is to victims' families," notes the letter from Dr. Charles Hirsch, the city's chief medical examiner, and Joe Daniels, the president of the National Sept. 11 Memorial & Museum, which counts some victims' relatives as board members.
At the other sites where hijacked planes crashed on Sept. 11, 2001, the placement of unidentified remains has been resolved. Those from the Pentagon, where American Airlines Flight 77 crashed, were buried at Arlington National Cemetery on the first anniversary of the attacks. Three caskets of unidentified remains from the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in a field in Shanksville, Pa., were buried there this September.
To the trade center victims' relatives who sued, the letter doesn't settle their dispute, which reflects years of strife over the search for and handling of victims' remains.
Remains have never been identified for more than 1,100 people killed at the site. With the subterranean museum still under construction, about 9,000 pieces of unidentified remains are now in a weatherproof tent along the East River in Manhattan, near the medical examiners' office.
The current plan calls for moving them in 2013 to a private repository in the museum, according to the letter. The repository would be off limits to the public, behind a wall inscribed with a quote from the Roman poet Virgil: "No day shall erase you from the memory of time."
There would be a private viewing area for families, who wouldn't be charged the museum's potential $20 admission fee and would be allowed to visit after hours, the letter notes.
Regardless, the objecting families feel a museum is no place for their loved ones' remains. They bristle at the prospect of passing a gift shop and tourists on their way to pay respects 70 feet underground. They want the remains to be put in a separate space on the memorial plaza that opened this Sept. 11, seeing that as a more respectful treatment.
"I think that would bring some more reverence to it," says Jim Riches, a retired firefighter who lost his firefighter son Jimmy in the attack.
Riches and others who sued want to survey the full roster of trade center victims' families to gauge opinion, something the city's letter doesn't invite.
"The fact that a letter went out is positive, but it's not adequate because it ignores the most important part, from the (families') perspective, which is the input," said their lawyer, Norman Siegel. His clients are considering appealing the court's denial of their bid for access to the city's full list of 9/11 families' names and addresses, he said.
Manhattan state Supreme Court Justice Cynthia Kern said in an Oct. 25 ruling that turning over the list would invade the other families' privacy and that the city's letter "clearly and explicitly informs" them.
The families had said any privacy concerns could be allayed by giving the list only to a retired judge who could send out a survey to the 2,752 trade center victims' next of kin. But the city argued that state public records law would require releasing the list publicly if it were released at all, and that would subject families to unwelcome solicitations.
City lawyer Thaddeus Hackworth said officials were glad the court agreed that releasing the list would compromise the families' privacy.
"The mailing sent by the 9/11 Memorial and the Office of Chief Medical Examiner added to the abundance of information that families already had received regarding the plans," he added in a statement Tuesday.
Memorial officials had no immediate reaction.
Identifying, finding and determining a resting place for remains has been a fraught issue for some victims' families since the 2001 attacks.
After Hirsch stopped trying to make identifications in 2005, saying the effort had reached the limits of DNA technology, the discovery of human remains on a bank tower roof and in a manhole near ground zero a year later outraged families who said the search for their loved ones had been rushed initially. The findings prompted a renewed search that cost the city tens of millions of dollars and uncovered 1,500 pieces of remains.
Meanwhile, some victims' relatives sued the city over its decision to move 1.6 million tons of materials from the trade center site to a landfill, saying the material might contain victims' ashes and should have been given a proper burial. The city said it had searched the material diligently for remains, which the families' disputed. Federal judges sided with the city, and the case came to an end when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear it last year.

3000 Rose Petals
3000 Rose Petals by Magdalena Taber
"Living just around the corner from Boston's Logan International Airport, I am still being reminded of 911 by the airplanes flying low over my head. But it is another memory that prompted me to arrange and perform a touching tribute on the 10th anniversary of the event. From a distance, the images of people jumping out of the windows of the towers appeared so serene... 10 years later, I counted 3000 rose petals and along with other artists friends dispersed them into the ocean. The gentle breeze of a perfect September day carried the petals away, while the airplanes flew so close above us. Full of symbolism, an art video documenting the tribute is now available for sharing on Youtube. Each name of the victims is typed into a heart wrenching mosaic, yet it is not an image of defeat, but resilience and hope." Magdalena Taber.
Pennsylvania commemorates 9/11 victims
Flight 93 National Memorial dedication on September 10th, 2011, the day before the 10th anniversary of the crash of Flight 93
Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton gave impassioned speeches; singer/songwriter Sarah McLachlan performed her hits, "In The Arms Of The Angel" and "I Will Remember You", in tribute to the 40 heroic passengers of United Airlines Flight 93.
About Flight 93
United Airlines Flight 93 was United Airlines' scheduled morning transcontinental flight across the United States from Newark International Airport in Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco International Airport in California. On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, the Boeing 757–222 aircraft operating the route was hijacked by four al-Qaeda terrorists as part of the September 11 attacks. It subsequently crashed into a field near Shanksville in Stonycreek Township in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, during an attempt by some of the passengers to regain control.

9/11 Memorial Opens To Public At Ground Zero
The New York memorial to those killed on 9/11 has opened today to the public, a day after its dedication on the 10th anniversary of the attacks.
Two huge memorial pools are located on the original World Trade Center site, where the Twin Towers once stood. Around them is the ongoing construction of the new WTC 1 skyscraper.
Remembering 9/11 Around The World
NEW YORK
President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama arrived at Ground Zero this afternoon alongside former President George W Bush and his wife Laura. There they met families of victims, with all four warmly embracing them alongside plaques bearing the names of the dead.
The 10th anniversary ceremony began with the arrival of bagpipers and drummers and the singing of the national anthem by a youth chorus. But the world fell silent at 8.46am local time for a minute's silence to remember the horrific moment American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower.
It was followed by President Obama's reading from Psalm 46, which begins, "God is my refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble".
New York mayor Michael Bloomberg then introduced the reading of the names of each of the 2,983 people who died in the attacks.
After the New York ceremony President Obama flew to rural western Pennsylvania to remember the sacrifice of those on United Airlines Flight 93.
ENGLAND
Many of the families of the 67 British victims who died in the 9/11 attacks have attended services in London and New York.
Members of around 30 families who lost loved ones in the twin towers took part in a ceremony at the American Embassy in central London, while members of another 10 families took part in the service at Ground Zero.
Speaking at the service outside the US Embassy, the Prince of Wales said the families had to endure an "eternity of continuing, awful, agony".
"None of us will ever forget where we were or what we were doing when on that otherwise ordinary day, and out of a clear blue sky, came so much premeditated death and destruction on scale and in a way that shocked the entire world," he said.
"At the heart of those endless and rather impersonal news reports lay the shattered lives and hopes of all those who we join here today both in London and New York."
Ceremonies of remembrance also took place at Westminster Abbey and St Paul's Cathedral, while Mayor Boris Johnson unveiled a sculpted memorial, made from steel recovered from Ground Zero in Battersea Park, west London.
