Family members began to read aloud the names of loved ones who died 10 years ago in the Sept. 11 attacks, as New York City observed a moment of silence Sunday morning to commemorate when Al Qaeda inflicted a day of terror on America.
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg invoked the moment of silence citywide at 8:46 a.m. ET, when Flight 11 struck the North Tower a decade ago. After a reading by President Obama from Psalm 46, family members of victims walked in pairs to a podium at Ground Zero to read their names — more than 300 people will step to the podium throughout the day to remember loved ones.
