US marks 25 years since the Sept. 11 attacks, ‘moments that divide time’
On the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, Americans are remembering the shock, loss, and lasting impact of the al-Qaida attacks on iconic U.S. symbols. Memorial rituals, volunteer projects, and private reflection mark the occasion. For Officer Casey Kloepfer, it's a day to honor his father, who perished while serving, while also committing to being a better police officer.
The terrorist group hijacked four planes, crashing them into the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks resulted in nearly 3,000 deaths and reshaped U.S. foreign policy, domestic security, and culture.
