RawNews1st – While the September 11 terrorist attacks were the deadliest in history, it resulted in the two twin towers of the World Trade Centre collapsing at the heart of America’s financial capital, New York.
Patriot Day, also known as the National Day of Service and Remembrance, is observed every year on September 11 to commemorate and honour the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre in 2001.
It should be mentioned that over 2,977 fatalities and over 25,000 injuries were recorded on this day in 2001.
While a bill to make September 11 a national day of mourning was introduced soon after the bombing, the first Patriot Day was observed on September 11, 2002.
Note: It has been confirmed by multiple reports that 2,997 people were killed in the September 11th attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and in the United Airlines Flight 93 that crashed into a Pennsylvania field. In addition, 19 hijackers committed murder-suicide in the four attacks.
Following the attacks, emergency officials rushed to rescue people trapped in the towers and 412 emergency workers and 343 firefighters lost their lives.
Over 6,000 people were injured in the attacks, many of whom survived thanks to the bravery shown by first responders.
The names of all of the people who died on September 11th can be seen in a memorial located where the World Trade Center complex once stood in New York City.
Tragically, more than 20 years after the attacks, victims are still being identified. Two victims were identified last year, one of whom was Dorothy Morgan, of Hempstead, New York.
The other victim has not been publicly named per request by his family.
The Tribute in Light, with its beams of light shining into the night sky, will return as a tribute to all those who were killed on 9/11.
Assembled on the roof of the Battery Parking Garage south of the 9/11 Memorial, the twin beams reach up to four miles into the sky and are comprised of eighty-eight 7,000-watt xenon lightbulbs positioned into two 48-foot squares, echoing the shape and orientation of the Twin Towers.
The installation can also be viewed from a 60-mile radius around Lower Manhattan.
The lights will be on beginning at sunset on September 11 and will fade away at dawn on September 12. There is no formal program.
The lights are best viewed when it is completely dark.
