Vice President Vance and former Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will be in New York City on Friday morning to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The event is being held at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in Manhattan, built adjacent to Ground Zero. During the tragic incident in New York, 2,753 people were killed. That number includes civilians and those in the towers, first responders and the people on American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175. The victims' families will read their names aloud during the ceremony.
As the nation marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, a groundbreaking will take place for a visitor education center near the 9/11 Pentagon Memorial on Sept. 12. The center will transform into a space where people can learn and reflect on the lives lost. Max Marcilla shares the latest. #Petagonmemorial #911remembrance #25thanniversary
25 years after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people, Morning Joe looks back on the day. Mika, then a CBS correspondent, was sent downtown to report on the Twin Towers. Following the attacks, Joe notes a distinct sense of national pride: “If the terrorists meant to tear us apart, they actually brought us more closely together.”
Today marks 25 years since the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. Americans across the nation will come together today to remember the 2,977 people who died on September 11, 2001, as well as the first responders and recovery workers who fought through the debris and dust to help others. Throughout the morning, the country will observe several moments of silence to honor the lives lost as a result of that dark day. The Morning Joe panel remembers that day and reflects on how America has changed in the quarter-century since then.
We look back at Sept. 11, 2001.
