NEW YORK (AP) – A second bell tolled at 9:03 a.m. at ground zero to mark the moment a second terrorist-piloted plane slammed into the World Trade Center’s south tower.
Monday marked the 16th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.
In New York, the victims’ relatives again began reading the names of the nearly 3,000 people killed when four hijacked planes hit the trade center, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field on Sept. 11, 2001.
Republican President Donald Trump, a native New Yorker, observed a moment of silence at the White House and participated in an observance at the Pentagon. It’s his first time observing the anniversary as president.
There is also a ceremony at the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
