Remembering 9/11

This morning, at 8:46am and 9:03am there were moments of silence across the city, to remember those that died as the result of the 9/11 attacks. Three hundred and forty three firefighters and twenty three police officers were among those killed on the day. Deaths of many more first responders are being linked to the attacks.

Last Friday, 32 names were added to the World Trade Center Memorial Wall at FDNY Headquarters in Brooklyn, bringing the total to 159 FDNY members.

“Our World Trade Center Memorial Wall is a testament to their courage 16 years ago, and in the face of illness. It is a symbol of our Department’s bravery, and it demonstrates the dangers our members face, and the lengths they will go to honor their sworn oaths. The 32 members we remember today were without question courageous and brave, they were dedicated and compassionate, and they performed their duties, no matter the cost,” said Commissioner Nigro.
