It’s become
a ritual in the United States to pausing for part of the day to remember the
victims of the terror attacks 18 years ago in Manhattan, the Pentagon and
Pennsylvania, where the airlines turned into weapons.
Today, the
memorial and museum in Lower Manhattan will host its annual commemoration
ceremony. Some more places in New York, like St.Paul’s Chapel of Trinity Church
Wall Street will also pay tribute to these facts. Likewise, in other states,
some other ceremonies will take place.
In recent
years there has been a growing awareness of the suffering of another group of
people related to the tragedy: firefighters, police and other first responders
who died or became ill after being exposed to debris and toxins in the air in
the area. Nowadays, research continues into whether these diseases are linked
to 9/11 toxins.
