At a New York ceremony marking the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, family members of the victims have begun reading the names of those who died.
Silence spread across New York at 8:46 a.m., the time when American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center a decade ago.
The city observed another moment of silence at 9:03 a.m., when United Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower.
More than 200 miles away in Washington, D.C., mourners observed a moment of silence at 9:37 a.m., the moment American Airlines Flight 77 struck the Pentagon and killed 184 people.
At 10:03 a.m., silence fell on Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where passengers aboard United Airlines Flight 93 thwarted a hijacking plot and crashed the plane into the ground.
The attacks killed 2,977 people.
