Ceremonies to commemorate victims of 11/XNUMX terrorist attacks will be held in the USA: where and how to look

Sept. 11, the deadliest attack on US soil since Pearl Harbor, forever changed America's view of security, prompting President George W. Bush to declare war on terrorism and deploy troops to Afghanistan.

US-led coalition forces overthrew the Taliban in Afghanistan. The war in this country continues to this day, although in early 2020, the United States and the Taliban signed an agreement aimed at ending the conflict.

The United States had been looking for al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden for years after the attacks, and in May 2011, US special forces raided Abbottabod, which resulted in bin Laden being shot dead.

At the sites of the attacks in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania, memorials have been created in memory of the victims.

The Pentagon building was quickly rebuilt after those attacks. The new tower at the World Trade Center took longer to build, but now rises above the Manhattan skyline as the tallest building in the United States.

Vice President Mike Pence will attend the Memorial Act in New York, while President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden are planning to attend the mournful ceremony at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Pennsylvania.

Where and when will the ceremonies take place, how to see them

Пандемия коронавируса вынудила внести коррективы в традиции, обычаи и ежегодные мероприятия — большие и малые. Изменения коснулись и ежегодных мероприятий в память о людях, погибших в результате террористических атак 11 сентября 2001-го. В этом году мероприятия в память о жертвах принимают самые разные формы в свете принципов социального дистанцирования, поскольку организаторы ищут нетрадиционные способы безопасного поминовения, пишет USA Today... Most of the ceremonies had to be greatly shortened and simplified.

Many local municipalities will host virtual commemorative rallies, while others will conduct face-to-face mourning ceremonies with respect to safe distancing and masking requirements. Here is a list of major commemorative events held throughout the United States, including New York City and the capital Washington, DC.

New York

Here, as usual every year on this day, in memory of the victims of September 11, there will be illumination in the form of two beams of searchlights directed into the sky.

When the National 11/19 Memorial and Museum announced last month that the event would be canceled due to concerns over COVID-XNUMX, New York State officials confirmed days later that it would take place.

«В этом году особенно важно, чтобы мы все оценили и отдали дань 11 сентября, потерянным жизням и проявленному героизму, ведь жители Нью-Йорка вновь призваны противостоять общему врагу», — сказал губернатор Эндрю Куомо в заявлении.

The museum, which has been closed since March due to the coronavirus, will open to the families of the victims on Friday, September 11. The next day he will receive everyone who wants to visit him. Tickets must be purchased in advance.

The New York City Fire Department urged employees to refrain from attending events timed to coincide with the attack that killed about 350 firefighters.

Buildings throughout the city, including the One World Trade Center and the Empire State Building, will also be illuminated in blue.

In addition, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation will hold a mournful rally, at which the names of 11 victims of the XNUMX/XNUMX attacks will be read live. The event will follow ceremonies in Washington DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Vice President Mike Pence is expected to deliver a speech. Live broadcast will be available on the fund's Facebook page.

Arlington, VA

У Мемориала в честь 184 человек, погибших в Пентагоне и на рейсе 77 American Airlines состоится виртуальный акт памяти, в частности минута молчания в 9:37 утра — это время, когда самолет врезался в Пентагон.

The event will be closed to the public, but the district will host live streaming on your website.

At the Pentagon, the ceremony will be held without the relatives of the victims, and the names of the victims will be read in the record.

Relatives of the victims will be able to visit the Pentagon memorial in small groups later that day.

Flight 93 National Memorial

President Donald Trump will honor the closed ceremony at the Flight 93 National Memorial. Trump and the head of the Interior Department, David Bernhard, are planning to speak there, according to The Tribune-Democrat of Johnstown newspaper.

Former vice president and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden will also visit the memorial, although a spokesman did not say exactly if he would be attending the event or just visiting the memorial.

The hour and a half ceremony at the Shanksville memorial will this time be shortened, including by eliminating musical interruptions. Memorial spokeswoman Catherine Kordek said the names of 40 victims would be read, but not a few relatives, but one person.

The event is planned to be broadcast live via EarthCam National Park Service... The park, located in Stonecreek, Pennsylvania, will be open to the public after a mournful ceremony.
