New York/Washington: On this day, 22 years after the tragic events of September 11, Americans and their leaders across the country remembered the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks.
The twin towers of the World Trade Centre, which were razed to the ground when two airlines hijacked by Al-Qaeda terrorists crashed into the towers, forever altering the Manhattan skyline on September 11, 2001, were the site of the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in Lower Manhattan, where the victims of the 9/11 terror attacks were honoured in a sombre ceremony.
