NY Stock Exchange Holds Moment of Silence for 9/11 Anniversary

The New York Stock Exchange held a moment of silence before the opening bell on Friday, September 9, to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks. One ring of the bell was sounded to mark the start of a one-minute moment of silence, followed by another clang of the bell.

Following the moment of silence, the group behind the 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance rang the opening bell. The group encourages people to do good deeds and help those in need to commemorate the September 11 anniversary each year.

Sunday marks 15 years since the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington. A fourth airplane, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed in Pennsylvania after passengers thwarted that part of Al-Qaeda’s attack. The NYPD will hold a memorial march on Friday, and a service will be held at the memorial on Sunday. President Barack Obama will attend the service at the Pentagon on Sunday.
