Americans are marking 24 years since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks with solemn ceremonies, volunteer work and other tributes honoring the victims. Many loved ones of the nearly 3,000 people killed were joining dignitaries and politicians at commemorations Thursday in New York, at the Pentagon and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
Main Idea: Charlie Kirk’s killing led to tighter security at the 9/11 memorial in New York as families and officials marked the attack’s 24th anniversary.
Key Points:
Extra security at the 9/11 memorial can slow access and add costs for visitors, workers, and taxpayers.
The added protection may help keep mourners and officials safer during a tense public event.
