Looking back 9/11 Attack
New York city commemorating the 9/11 attack of the Twin Towers. A decade past in remembering the tragic day to all Americans. In the Ground zero mixed emotions shows to those families remembering their love ones died. Determined never to forget but perhaps ready to move on, the nation gently handed Sept. 11 over to history Sunday and etched its memory on a new generation. A stark memorial took its place where twin towers once stood, and the names of the lost resounded from children too young to remember terror from a decade ago.
"It will be said of us that we kept that faith; that we took a painful blow, and emerged stronger,"
The anniversary took place under sensitive security. In New York and Washington in particular, authorities were on alert. Ahead of the anniversary, the centralized government warned those cities of a tip about a potential car-bomb plot. Police searched trucks in New York, and streets near the trade center were blocked. To walk within blocks of the site, people had to go from first to last checkpoints.
The names of the fallen — 2,983 of them, together with all the victims from the three Sept. 11 attack sites and six people who died when terrorists situate off a truck bomb under the towers in 1993 — echoed across a place utterly transformed.
