Today is the sixteenth anniversary of 9/11.
Remembering 9/11 on its 16th anniversary
On the 16th anniversary of Sept. 11, we look back at some of the poignant moments at the sites of the attacks on our nation in New York City; Washington, D.C.; and Shanksville, Pa.

Every year, memorials are held in remembrance of the thousands of lives that were lost that day.

9/11 Memorial & Museum — New York, N.Y.

An anniversary ceremony, held each year on Sept. 11, will take place at the 9/11 Memorial Plaza at the World Trade Center. The "Tribute in Light" public art installation will shine from dusk to dawn on the night of Sept. 11. Two beams of illuminated, blue light, symbolizing the Twin Towers, reach four miles into the sky and are visible within a 60-mile radius on a clear night.

The Pentagon — Washington, D.C.

The Pentagon Memorial also holds its anniversary commemoration, and is the first national memorial dedicated to the terror attacks on 9/11. Each memorial unit consists of a cantilevered bench, a lighted, reflecting pool of water, and a tribute to each of the 184 Pentagon victims.

Flight 93 National Memorial — Shanksville, Pa.

This year on Sept. 10, Flight 93 National Memorial will host a "soundbreaking" for the memorial's last element, the Tower of Voices. Once constructed, the tower will contain 40 different chimes to symbolize the eternal voices of the passengers and crew members of Flight 93.

“Five years from the date of the attack that changed our world, we’ve come back to remember the valor of those we lost—those who innocently went to work that day and the brave souls who went in after them. We have also come to be ever mindful of the courage of those who grieve for them, and the light that still lives in their hearts.”

We still don't know what really happened. How did building 7 collapse on its own?

Does this cover mean at least the Rockefeller's knew what was going to happen on 9/11/01 in the 60's?

I remember I was working on an interstate 70 miles from the Trade Center that day.....it took the wind out of us. Then the following weekend I was watching the combat air patrol orbiting Camp David.

History's Emmy® Award-winning, and critically acclaimed documentary chronicled the terror of 9/11 in real-time. It is a minute by minute account of the catastrophe unfolding, using footage from numerous sources, including personal camcorder footage, police and fire department recordings, and in-the-moment commentary from first responders and witnesses. This anniversary edition includes interviews and perspectives from those featured in the film, and people who can speak to the events that followed the attack.

I have to agree with the opinion that there is no mystery regarding the Sept 11 attack. The suspects were apprehended and engineers have confirmed that both towers collapsed due to the extreme heat caused by the fires that fed off of the high octane jet fuel.

People want to make a mystery out of everything. There are people who claim, for instance, James Earl Ray was a patsy who was set up for the murder of Martin Luther King but the evidence against him was so overwhelming. Eyewitnesses saw him fleeing the scene. When captured, he broke down and admitted everything. He did escape the US and he was eventually captured and arrested in the UK so one could possibly make an argument that he had help (maybe from some FBI agents who didn't want him caught?). It all depends on how you define conspiracy.

Yes, I think there could have been some people who helped Oswald along the way who were never caught but I believe he ultimately was the only shooter.
