U.S. Marks 25th Anniversary of Sept. 11 Attacks

Officials say 25 years later, the attacks’ toll keeps rising as more than 9,400 people have died from related illnesses.

  • On Friday, September 11, 2026, the United States marked the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks with solemn ceremonies at Ground Zero, the Pentagon, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, reading names of the 2,977 victims.
  • New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani released around 170,000 pages of records this week revealing officials misled the public about post-9/11 air toxicity, while the WTC Health Program estimates over 9,400 deaths from related illnesses.
  • President Donald Trump attended the Pentagon observance, while Vice President JD Vance represented the administration at Ground Zero alongside Mamdani, who faced criticism from some political figures regarding his attendance.
  • The Tunnel to Towers Foundation, created in memory of FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller, concluded its 10,500-mile tour of a recovered World Trade Center steel beam Friday at Ground Zero.
  • Educational programs now target the 100 million Americans too young to remember the attacks, as officials continue citing the 25-year conflict to justify ongoing military operations in the Middle East.
