US marks 20 years since 9/11, in shadow of Afghan war's end

The U.S. marks the milestone anniversary Saturday under the pall of a pandemic and in the shadow of a frantic withdrawal from Afghanistan, which fell to the same militant rulers who gave safe haven to the plotters of the 2001 attacks.

“It’s hard because you hoped that this would just be a different time and a different world. But sometimes history starts to repeat itself and not in the best of ways,” said Thea Trinidad, who lost her father in the attacks and has signed up to read victims’ names at the ceremony at ground zero in New York.: New York’s World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

But the president also spotlighted what he called the “central lesson” of Sept. 11: “that at our most vulnerable ... unity is our greatest strength.” Former President George W. Bush, the nation’s leader on 9/11, is due at the Pennsylvania memorial and his successor, Barack Obama, at ground zero. The only other post-9/11 U.S. president, Donald Trump, is planning to be in New York, in addition to providingOther observances — from a wreath-laying in Portland, Maine, to a fire engine parade in Guam — are planned across a country now full of 9/11 plaques, statues and commemorative gardens.

Using hijacked planes as missiles, the assailants inflicted the deadliest terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, taking nearly 3,000 lives, toppling the twin towers and ushering in an age of fear.

And mass displacement of populations.

How embarrassing for you all to let those Afghani people love Pakistan

Katelyn27xo One terrorist attack on their own soil... aren't they lucky that - unlike other nations, ours included - they don't have different anniversaries every other day?

A few months ago, Israeli forces did the same criminal act , they were bombed the ASSOCIATED-PRESS Office in Gaza

Pls do remember the hundreds of thousands of families that were destroyed by the WAR on Iraq, Libya, afghanistan, Syria etc etc. The magnitude merits the word genocide.

America was united by lies of Government because 9/11/2001 was predicted in details to FBI & White House same night Feb 1994 NEWS MEDIA brought Division via support for POLITICAL PARTYS regardless of TREASON Unity will come once both POLITICAL PARTYS are CHARGED with TREASON

NeverForget WTC7!

Chileans are marking the anniversary of the CIA coup that put Pinochet in power resulting in 14,000 deaths

echatepalla “frantic”

About the same amount of dead as one month of US car traffic or one month of US gun violence.

My thoughts and prayers go to the families who lost loved ones on this 20th anniversary of the terror attacks in NewYorkCity and the PENTAGON and also Shanksville, Pennsylvania.I may live on the otherside of the pond in the UK but I still feel your loss.🇺🇲🇬🇧

would be devastating to see a man going to shed crocodile tears on the memory of thousands of innocent victims of 9/11 in NY after handing out keys off to the perpetuator of this sin, that too over throwing democratically elected govt in Afhanistan😰

Inside job.

What happened after 9/11 was a catastrophe - but let's pause, and remember, at this time for all those who died in NYC, Washington DC and Pensylvania, their families and friends and those who escaped and continue to suffer to this day. We need to give love xxx

And all 3 intentionally created

When the dust finally settles, I don’t know what we’ll see. But at least it won’t be war.

And an increase in coast-to-coast environmental catastrophes.

Thank Republicans for the Afghanistan War and the continued Pandemic! Thanks Trump Publicans!

The mother of all false flags What happened to the crisis actors🤦‍♂️

NO ATTACKS: WE DID IT TO OURSELVES: 9/11 Remembered: FALSE FLAG No airplane can cause a demolition. SEEING IS BELIEVING:

Bin Laden/Taliban = 3,000 Trump/Republicans = 650,000

It was not frantic. Calm down. Only your headline is.

Wishing the US people who are so fantastic peace and tranquility on this sad day. The 911 attack was aimed at people of all faiths and was an attack on liberal democracy. May those who died rest in peace and their families have some closure.

2977 innocent people were killed by the terrorists on this day at The WTC. 2,327,876 innocent Muslims were killed by the American forces since 9/11. Just wondering who are the real terrorists ?

Who know what will happen in another 20 years..

“Frantic withdrawal”. Is that the current official AP terminology?

Time to move on. Far too many people used this horrific event as an excuse to inflict harm on others. I'm looking at you, George W Bush.

the American should also commemorate for hundred and thousands innocent humans they killed in pursuance of perpetrators of 9/11 attacks, who are yet to be discovered.

Long runs the fox.
