New Yorkers and international visitors gathered at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in Lower Manhattan to mark the 25th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks. The site, which occupies the former location of the Twin Towers, served as a focal point for reflection on the tragedy and the resilience of the nation.
Among those in attendance were visitors who recalled the immediate aftermath of the attacks, including the role of St. Paul’s Chapel as a staging area for emergency responders. The historic chapel is currently hosting an exhibit titled "Ever Present," which features 2,977 paper cranes to honor each of the individuals who lost their lives on that day. Attendees described the memorial as a significant symbol of remembrance, noting the profound changes in the city and the world over the past quarter-century.
