New York marks 7th anniversary of 9/11 terror attacks

  2001年9月11日,19名恐怖分子劫持了美国4架民航客机,并对美国的几个标志性建筑发动恐怖袭击,制造了震惊世界的“9·11”事件。9月11日,在美国纽约世贸中心旧址,纽约市长布隆伯格在“9·11”事件七周年纪念活动上讲话。

  New Yorkers gathered on Thursday morning in a somber ceremony near Ground Zero, site of the destroyed World Trade Center's twin towers in the September 11 terrorist strikes, to remember the more than 2,700 people who were killed in the attacks seven years ago.

  U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, New York State Governor David A. Paterson, New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, former New York Governor George E. Pataki and former New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani attended the ceremony, together with thousands of people, including relatives of victims, firefighters, policemen, officials, journalists and people, in other walks of life.

  The ceremony began at 8:40 a.m. After Young People's chorus of New York performed the American national anthem, the Star Spanned Banner, Bloomberg introduced moment of silence.

  Commemorating the almost 2,750 people who died when hijacked airliners struck and demolished New York's two World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001, Bloomberg said the day will "live for ever in our hearts and our history."

  The anniversary, he said, was about "New Yorkers, Americans and global citizens remembering the innocent people from 95 nations and territories that lost their lives that day."

  With eyes and cheeks full of tears, 67-year-old Korean woman Pilsoon Kang told Xinhua that her only son Joonkoo Kang was killed in the terror attack.

  "My son was only 34 when he was killed," she said, trying to stop the sobbing. "He left behind him a 4-year-old son and a 2-year-old daughter."

  "My happy family and life have been destroyed completely after my son died," she said.

  Carrying a number of photos of his late wife in his wallet, Nick Chiachiaro blamed the wrong foreign policies of the United States for the happening of the 9/11 on the U.S soil.

  He said the United States should rethink of its foreign policies, urging the U.S. troops to withdraw from other countries so as to avoid further tragedies like the 9/11.

  "Even though he is gone, he is still with us and helps us to be better people," said Aiden Salamone, son of victim John Patrick Salamon, at the ceremony. "For our dad, we try to be a little kinder and help people in need."

  According to the organizers, the emphasis on the seventh anniversary has shifted to educating new generations about terrorist threats and the way families of victims survive the loss of loved ones.

  The 9/11 attacks killed more than 2,700 people in New York, including 300 firefighters and police trapped after rushing into the towers to save the thousands of people working inside. The trauma has lingered with thousands of New Yorkers who lost friends or relatives or who continued to suffer mentally or physically.
