NEW YORK CITY - New York marks 23 years since September 11 attacks with a commemorative ceremony. U.S. President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump and U.S. Vice Presidential candidate J.D. Vance are expected to attend.
On Sept. 11, 2001, four U.S. airliners were highjacked in a coordinated attack by the terrorist organization al-Qaeda against the United States, crashing into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington D.C. and an area outside of Shanksville, Penn. As a result, 2,977 people were killed and our nation was brought into war. Take a look back at harrowing photos from that day, and the days after, in what has been called the worst terrorist attack in American history.
