After the official 9/11 "Tribute in Light" was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic, Tunnel to Towers Foundation CEO Frank Siller vowed he won't let that happen.

Siller, who lost his firefighter brother in the terror attacks, told "Fox & Friends Weekend" the lights will shine skyward as always, as will the solemn reading of the names of the victims.

"You know, it broke my heart. It really broke my heart," he said Saturday after speaking to fellow 9/11 family members and people across the country who were upset about the cancelations of the memorial tributes.

Behind nicey nice words and many promises, leftists are boiling with a tyrannical soul intent on controlling, destroying and enjoying your pain. We can name them.

The lights remember brave cops who died.

Democrat scum hate cops.

That is why they don’t want the lights.

Cuomo and/or Wilhelm to order it canceled in 3...2...1

Cuomo probably won't cancel it. Wilhelm will do a few bongs and then proudly cancel it.

> I can’t help but wonder if the electrical workers union might have had some opposition to it........ <

The Tunnel to Towers CEO made a point of saying he’d be hiring out of work Broadway electricians. I’m guessing those guys are all union. So the union should be all for this alternate tribute.

“How does shining some lights in the sky spread covid 19?“
That question makes far too much sense.

Pinkos want America to forget what the Muslims did to her that day.

An attempted shutdown for the 19-year anniversary light memorial is being blamed on COVID-19.

Remember the Islam/NOI symbolism re "19"?

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19_(number)#Islam

for a few examples. No mention though of the

19 hijackers.

Be fitting if this year's tribute is so bright that it causes a blackout for the rest of the city. It's not like the PTB are concerned about looting.

The 7,000th day since 9/11 falls on 11/9.

And the next mayor of NYC will be - you guessed it - a communist democrat.

I'm not so sure about that.

I kept a suite at the Sofitel at 57 & 7th during the 90s when Dinkins was mayor and the local TV news was actually rooting for NY to "achieve 2,000 murders" in a single year.

I had loads of free time in the evenings, and this was before FOX, so I watched local NY stations and they were quietly "rooting for 2,000 murders}.

Anyone old enough to have lived in and around the NY metro area during that period, and watched the news will verify what I am saying.

After NY hit the 2,000 murders in a single year, Rudy ran for mayor as a law and order guy and he was a shoe in.

The city was absolutely transformed, for the better and New Yorkers loved him for making their city safe.

It could happen, again.

Could be separate unions.....There's the New York State Assoc of Elect Workers that likely work for the city...........

I don't know, it was just a thought.

“How does shining some lights in the sky spread covid 19?”

I think DeBlasio mentioned his scientists told him the little viruses could attach themselves to the light molecules....or something..

After the official 9/11 "Tribute in Light" was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic...

That sentence is a lie... FOX should do a better job reporting the truth... or at least adding the word, "alleged"... Turning on two lights has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PANDEMIC... AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH KEEP THE FEELING OF CHAOS AND PANIC GOING...
