Today marks 12 years since the September 11th attacks, and as usual, a ceremony will be held in Lower Manhattan in memory of the victims.
The event began with a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., the time when the first plane hit the North Tower.
Family members of victims of the 2001 and 1993 attacks will then read the names of those who died.
Moments of silence will also be observed at the time when the second plane hit the South Tower and at the times each tower fell.
It will also be marked by a day of service, with volunteers doing everything from cleaning and painting firehouses to preparing care packages for active military service members.
NY1 will have live coverage of the ceremony beginning around 8:30 a.m.
In addition, the “Tribute in Light” is set to return tonight.
Two beams of light will reach into the sky over Lower Manhattan, re-creating the image of the Twin Towers.
The lights will come on at sunset and will fade away tomorrow at dawn.
