As the 9/11 Memorial and
Museum website live-streamed the ceremony to commemorate the 16-year
anniversary of the terror attack, many took to social media platforms
such as Twitter to express their grief and pay their tributes to those
who lost their lives.
September 11, 2017, marks the 16th anniversary of
the catastrophic terror attack that took place in New York, changing
the world as we knew it. On this very day, four hijacked places crashed
into the twin towers of the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon and a
Pennsylvania field killing nearly 3,000 people. Considered to be one of
worst terror attacks on US soil since the 1941 Japanese attack on the US
Naval base in Pearl Harbour, multiple events were held across the
country to remember the deceased.
To pay respect to the people who died due to the
attack, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum observed a commemoration ceremony
that was live-streamed on their website. The official Twitter account of
the museum has been tweeting about the ceremony and has uploaded an
image #tributeinlight testing the lights before the final commemoration.
Over thousands of 9/11 victims’ relatives, friends, survivors, rescuers
and others gathered for the ceremony.
Wishes and messages of remembrance have poured in
from all across the world and it is clear that even after 16 years, the
wounds from the event are still fresh in the minds of the people, and
many took to social media platforms such as Twitter to express their
grief and pay their tributes to those who lost their lives.
