PUBLISHED SEP 11, 2018

New York on Tuesday honored the nearly 3,000 people killed on September 11, 2001, in a ceremony at Ground Zero, the site where hijacked Al-Qaeda planes brought down the Twin Towers.

The 17th anniversary was commemorated in fog and gentle rain by relatives of those who were killed, police officers, firefighters, and officials, who remembered what remains the deadliest single attack on US soil.

They gathered at the National September 11 Memorial and marked moments of silences at 8:46 a.m. and 9:03 a.m., the exact times that the passenger jets struck the North and South Towers.
