NEW YORK - The thou-
sands killed on Sept. 11 will be
honored where they died and
across the nation on the second
anniversary of the terrorist
attacks today, with cities falling
silent, names read aloud,
wreaths laid and bells tolling for
the dead.
Two years to the minute after
hijackers crashed American
Flight 11 into the World Trade
Center's north tower, victims’
relatives and dignitaries will
pause in silence at ground zero.
In Washington, President Bush
will observe the 8:46 a.m.
moment on the South Lawn of
the White House.
At the trade center, on a stage;
near where the north tower once
stood, 200, children will take
turns reading the .2,792 names
of people lost In the attack.
“I thought it would be a good
way.to honor my dad, and to
honor the other people,” said
11-year-old Madllynn Morris,
who will recite 14 names, end-
ing with her father, Seth Allan
iMorris.
The reading will pause at
three other moments — the
crash of United Flight 175 into
the south tower, the skyscrapers
collapse an hour later, and the
collapse of the north tower about
30 minutes after that,
At the Pentagon, officials and
families will mark with silence
the moment another hijacked jet
slammed into the Defense
Department headquarters. The
9:37 a.m. crash killed 125 peo-
ple on the ground and 59 on the
plane.
