Minute's silence and memorial events among UK's tribute to 9/11 attacks 25 years on
Firefighters will hold a minute’s silence and a 110-floor stair climb to honor the 2,977 people killed in the attacks, officials said.
- On Friday, US Ambassador Warren Stephens and his wife Harriet Stephens laid a wreath in Grosvenor Square, London, marking the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and honoring the 67 UK citizens killed.
- Twenty-Five years ago, the September 11, 2001, terror attacks killed 2,977 people, including 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers, after al-Qaeda hijackers flew four commercial airliners into the Twin Towers and Pentagon.
- The Fire Brigades Union observed a minute's silence at 13.46, the exact moment the first plane struck the North Tower, honoring the 343 firefighters lost while noting many have suffered from diseases linked to ground zero toxins.
- Firefighters across the UK ascended 110 floors in a memorial stair climb in solidarity with US colleagues, marking the largest international movement of firefighters for a memorial in UK history, while the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester took the Royal Salute at Buckingham Palace.
- Six new buildings replaced the lost towers at the World Trade Center site, with One World Trade Center opening in 2014, while permanent memorials including the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York and the Pentagon Memorial in Arlington County preserve the legacy.
