September 11 attacks: 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks
The world marks the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, which resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people across New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C. The attacks, carried out by the extremist group Al-Qaeda, involved the hijacking of four passenger planes. Two planes struck the World Trade Center towers in New York, a third crashed near the Pentagon, and a fourth fell in Pennsylvania.
Commemorations have been held to honor the victims, including ceremonies where the names of the deceased were read aloud. Notable attendees at memorial services included former presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, as well as Vice President J. D. Vance and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Survivors continue to share their stories, such as Lolita Jackson, who survived both the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the collapse of the South Tower in 2001. Religious leaders, including Archbishop Ronald Hicks of New York, have reflected on the role of faith in helping communities navigate the profound grief and lasting global changes caused by the tragedy.
