This year marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and as in other years the official commemoration ceremony will take place on the Memorial plaza and focus on an in-person reading of the names by family members. The commemoration is for family members of victims of the 2001 and 1993 attacks. The 9/11 Memorial Museum will be open solely for family members this day, beginning at 8:00 a.m. Other events around the city follow below.

9/11 MEMORIAL
For the first time, an additional moment of silence will be observed after the reading of the names to remember those who died from 9/11 related illness or injuries. This moment of silence will be a permanent part of the annual ceremony. Currently, there are six moments of silence observed throughout the 9/11 commemoration ceremony:

8:46 a.m. – Observance of time hijacked Flight 11 struck the North Tower

10:03 a.m. – Observance of time hijacked Flight 93 crashed near Shanksville, Pennsylvania
10:28 a.m. – Observance of time of the fall of the North Tower

The program will commence at 8:30 a.m., and the first moment of silence will be observed at 8:46 a.m. Families can access the plaza beginning at 7:30 a.m., and the commemoration is expected to conclude at approximately 1:00 p.m.

The families of victims of the 2001 and 1993 attacks will begin reading the names in pairs after the first moment of silence. The reading of names continues after that, ending at approximately 1:00 p.m. with the playing of taps.
