USA marks eighth anniversary of 9/11
The nation marked the eighth anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks Friday in ceremonies around the country that honored the nearly 3,000 people who died and the heroes who rushed forward to help.
Bells tolled throughout New York City as mourners fell silent to observe the moment a hijacked plane hit the World Trade Center. President Obama placed a wreath under rainy skies at the Pentagon in memory of those who died there. In Shanksville, Pa., hundreds were expected at the field where a plane crashed killing 40 passengers and crew.
Before the somber remembrance in New York, where victims' names were being read as music played softly, families wore rain jackets and ponchos to fight off the rain and strong winds.
