A joint observance will be held at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2024
First responders from the City of Miami Beach Fire and Police Departments will hold a joint observance on Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2024 to honor the memory of the 2,977 victims who died during the 9/11 terror attacks more than two decades ago.
“By honoring the memory of those who lost their lives on 9/11 and the brave first responders who selflessly ran toward danger, we will never forget the collective sacrifice these Americans made and continue to uphold the values of unity, compassion and solidarity for which they stood,” Miami Beach City Manager Eric T. Carpenter said.
The Miami Beach ceremony will begin at 8:30 a.m. outside Fire Station 2. A moment of silence will be observed at 8:46 a.m. as first responders lower the American flag to half-staff. The total number of victims includes the first responders who died while attempting to assist other victims but does not include the 19 terrorists killed while perpetrating the attacks that began with four hijacked airliners on Sept. 11, 2001.
Two aircraft were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City while another was flown into the Pentagon. The remaining aircraft crashed into a Pennsylvania field when passengers bravely resisted their attackers.
