9/11: 25 Years Remembering
Editor's Note: KTVZ News has chosen not to show footage of the 9/11 plane crashes or the collapse of the Twin Towers and parts of the Pentagon. While these images are historically significant, we believe they should be handled with care and respect for the victims, their loved ones, and everyone affected by the tragedy.

The terrorist attacks killed 2,977 people, not including the 19 hijackers.
Victims included crew and passengers aboard the four aircraft; visitors and workers at the Pentagon and World Trade Center; as well as firefighters, paramedics, police officers and other first responders.
Following the terrorist attacks, the country came together through acts of patriotism and service.
Family and friends of the missing continued to hold onto hope that their loved ones would be found.
In the years following the attacks, memorials and museums were built to honor the victims.
From the ashes of Ground Zero, New York City’s tallest skyscraper, One World Trade Center, now rises a symbol shaped by years of debate, design, and construction.
And a nation continues to remember those lost each and every year.
