US Marks 21st Anniversary Of 9/11

President Joe Biden visited the Pentagon and New Yorkers honoured the nearly 3,000 people killed when hijacked planes destroyed the Twin Towers.

Relatives of victims, police officers, firefighters and city leaders gathered at the National September 11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan, where the names of those who died were read aloud as they have been every year since the deadliest single attack on US soil.

They rang bells and held moments of silence at 8:46 am and 9:03 am (1246 and 1303 GMT), the precise times the passenger jets struck the World Trade Center’s North and South Towers.
