US remembers 9/11 attacks 恐怖袭击


Four separate ceremonies are taking place exactly seven years after al Qaeda militants hijacked four airliners and killed almost 3,000 people.

On the 7th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, America paused to remember. The almost 3000 people who were killed killed on that sunny Tuesday morning. Relatives of victims killed at the World Trade Center gathered at Ground Zero in lower Manhattan, for readings from dignitaries and a recitation of the names of the dead.

I want people to never forget, not only to harbor that day and evil that exists in this world, but this, courage, compassion.

Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., president Bush and first lady Laura Bush marked the anniversary during a moment of silence on the south lawn at the White House. Both president and Mrs. Bush then headed to the Pentagon where the first major permanent US memorial to commemorate the 9/11 attacks was dedicated to the 184 victims of the airliner attack on the Pentagon.

On this solemn day, politics is taking a backseat. Later, presidential candidates Barack Obama and John McCain will pay their silent respects at Ground Zero and then appear together in the evening at forum on volunteerism and service.

All of these ceremonies are taking place exactly 7 years after al-Qaeda militants highjacked 4 airliners and killed almost 3000 people.
