9/11 Ceremonies Honor Victims 21 Years After Terrorist Attacks

Ceremonies commemorating the events of Sept. 11, 2001, were held in lower Manhattan, Shanksville, Pa., and at the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., on Sunday, the 21st anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
In New York, the families of victims gathered for a ceremony inside the 9/11 Memorial plaza in lower Manhattan.
