Remembering 9/11
In a solemn but moving ceremony, US Embassy staff, US residents and Bahamian friends gathered at Christ Church Cathedral yesterday to commemorate the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks that shocked the world two years ago.
Almost three thousand people were killed when four hijacked planes flew into the World Trade Centers in New York, the Pentagon in Washington DC, and an open field in Pennsylvania.
Foreign Affairs Minister Fred Mitchell said it is important that no one lose sight of the fact that so many lives were lost.
Yesterday, flags at the US Embassy and at the Ambassadors residence flew at half mast in honour of the victims who dieds that September morning.
