🕊️🇺🇸 9:03 A.M. — SEPTEMBER 11, 2001
New Jersey residents are pausing to remember the lives lost during the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The tribute honors the victims and first responders who were affected when two planes struck the World Trade Center towers twenty-three years ago.
At 9:03 a.m., United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center (2 World Trade Center) in New York City.
The impact was witnessed live by millions of people watching events unfold across the country. The attack on the South Tower came just 17 minutes after American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower.
The moment marked a devastating escalation of the September 11 attacks and left countless families, first responders and communities facing an unimaginable tragedy.
Today, we pause to remember the innocent lives lost, honor the first responders and civilians who showed extraordinary courage, and stand with the families whose lives were forever changed.
🇺🇸 We remember. We honor. We will never forget.
🕯️ September 11, 2001 — Never Forgotten.
