Remembering 911 Twenty Five Years On | Wilmington News
Description
Twenty-five years after 9/11, the nation gathered at Ground Zero and Shanksville for solemn remembrances honoring the fallen — including a new moment of silence for those lost to illness linked to the attacks. All living former presidents, VP JD Vance, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani joined leaders in New York, while Pennsylvania honored Flight 93’s heroes. Schools across the city teach this history to students with personal ties to survivors and first responders, like a firefighter who endured two days trapped underground. Officials warn that today’s threat landscape has shifted toward domestic extremism amplified by tech, with Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin warning another attack is likely. In a stunning tribute, 2,977 drones illuminated NYC’s skyline — one for each life lost — recreating the Twin Towers’ silhouette as a haunting, luminous memorial.
