San Francisco marked 25 years since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks with a remembrance ceremony Friday morning honoring the nearly 3,000 people killed.
The ceremony was held at the San Francisco Fire Department’s Public Safety Building.
As in years past, the ceremony honored those killed in the attacks, including 343 New York firefighters and eight EMS providers.
At 6:59 a.m., the time the South Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed, bells will ring in three sets of three chimes to signify “the last alarm.”
The names of the first responders killed in the attacks were read. Local and state leaders also attended.
The Bay Area is also remembering the passengers of United Flight 93, including Mark Bingham.
Bingham, 31, was traveling from his New York office to his San Francisco office on the day of the attacks when terrorists took over the plane.
Bingham and other passengers stormed the cockpit before the plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. Officials say Flight 93 had been headed toward either the U.S. Capitol or the White House.
