New York City -- World Trade Center Site Memorial Ceremony and Remembrance
Due to the ongoing redevelopment at the site, this year's September 11th observance will take place at Zuccotti Park, which is adjacent to the World Trade Center site at Liberty Street between Broadway and Church Street/Trinity Place.
The ceremony will take place at Zuccotti Park and will also allow family members to go to Liberty Street, descend the ramp to a limited area where they can pay respects and ascend back to street level. This year, responders to the attack will deliver the reading of the names of the victims during the ceremony while music will play in the background.
The Tribute in Light will again return at sundown.
If you are a responder or would like to suggest an appropriate participant for the reading of names, please email cferer@cityhall.nyc.gov or call (212) 442-8953 by August 3, 2007.

September 11 Attack
On September 11, 2001 at 8:46 a.m., Al Qaeda suicide hijackers crashed American Airlines Flight 11 into the northern facade of the North Tower. Seventeen minutes later, at 9:03 a.m., a second team of hijackers crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower, which collapsed at 9:59 a.m. At 10:28 a.m., the North Tower collapsed. At 5:20 p.m., 7 World Trade Center collapsed. The four remaining buildings in the WTC plaza sustained heavy damage from debris, and were ultimately demolished.
At the time of the incident, media reports suggested that tens
of thousands might have been killed in the massacre, as on any
given day upwards of 100,000 people could be inside the towers.
Ultimately, 2,750 death certificates were filed relating to
the 9/11 attacks, as of May 23, 2007. Of these, 1,614 (59%)
were identified from recovered physical remains. Morgan Stanley
was the largest tenant in the World Trade Center, with approximately
2,500 employees in the South Tower and 1,000 in the North Tower.
For the following 8½ months, the World Trade Center site cleanup
and recovery continued 24 hours a day and involved thousands
of workers. The massive pile of debris smoked and smoldered
for 99 days.

The ethereal Tribute in Light memorial was designed to help lessen the aching loss felt across the country since 9/11. It is a profound symbol of strength, hope and resiliency. |
New Yankee Stadium is the working title for a new stadium for the New York Yankees, currently under construction. It will open in 2009, replacing the third-oldest stadium in the Major Leagues. |
In popular culture 'The Bronx' has often symbolized violence, decay, and urban ruin. In fact, there are guidebooks that say you must never go to the Bronx! Sheer ignorance, that is all we have to say! Interactive Bronx map |
