Hi there,

Independent media is more important than ever. Speaking up and telling the truth is becoming increasingly dangerous. Because we are only sponsored by you—not by governments or corporations—we can continue to bring you courageous journalism in a landscape filled with disinformation. If every person who came here for news this month gave just $15, we would be fully funded for a year. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations today will be TRIPLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $45. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Democracy Now!

9/11 Commemorations Mark 6 Years Since Attacks

HeadlineSep 11, 2007

Commemorations are being held around the country and worldwide today on the sixth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Here in New York, four moments of silence will be held to mark the times the two hijacked planes hit the towers and when the towers collapsed. It’s the first time the anniversary falls on a Tuesday, the day of the attacks. The Ground Zero ceremony will be held in a nearby park because of increased construction at the trade center site. Firefighters who rescued victims on 9/11 will read victims’ names. The ceremonies will mark the first time a victim who did not die in the attack will be recognized. Attorney Felicia Dunn-Jones died five months after 9/11 from toxic exposure to the trade center dust. Other ceremonies include commemorations near the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field where the other planes crashed.
