VOA, September 11 Remembered U.S. President George Bush proclaimed Friday through Sunday as National Days of Prayer and Remembrance in honor of the victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. Mr. Bush asked Americans and places of worship to mark the three-day period with memorial services, prayers and candlelight vigils. He also invited people around the world to share in the remembrance. On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four commercial jets, crashing them into the World Trade Center in New York City; the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, near Washington; and a field in Pennsylvania. The attacks killed more than 3,000 people from 80 nations. Join VOA Thursday starting at 1600 UTC for live coverage of events commemorating the second anniversary of the deadly attacks.
