Roosevelt Island Remembers 9/11/ NYC World Trade Center Towers Attack, 18 Years Ago Today


On the evening of September 10, 2001 the lower Manhattan skyline and World Trade Center Towers could be seen looking like this before it was forever changed.

Hard to believe that it's been 18 years since the September 11, 2001 terror attacks on the World Trade Center Towers, Pentagon, and the downing of Flight 93 in Shanksville Pennsylvania.

Earlier today, ceremonies were held to remember those who were killed.




Here's what the World Trade Center attacks looked like from Roosevelt Island on September 11, 2001.
