The Tribute in Lights illuminates the sky next to One World Trade Center ahead of the 13th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, in New York. Crowds will gather on Thursday morning to mark the 13th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Reuters
This year, for perhaps the first time since the attacks, a sense of normalcy and openness has taken root in the city blocks where two airliners hijacked by militants from al Qaeda crashed into the World Trade Center's twin towers. Reuters
