- Today marks the fourth anniversary of Nine-Eleven, the attack on America by terrorist hijackers.
People are remembering in a variety of ways. President Bush attends services in Washington. New Yorkers pause this morning at the moments two jetliners hit the World Trade Center towers, 8:46 and 9:03, and again at 9:59 and 10:29 a-m, when the towers collapsed. More than 600 family members who lost brothers or sisters will read the victims' names. Last year the names were read by parents and grandparents.
In Washington there's a walk of remembrance. The Freedom Walk, as its called, goes near the Pentagon crash site.
And in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where United Flight 93 went down, Senator Rich Santorum and former governor and homeland security director Tom Ridge are scheduled to speak.
