New York City and the nation on Monday are marking 22 years since 9/11. The 2021 terrorist attacks killed 2,977 people and resulted in nearly 5,000 additional deaths from 9/11-related illnesses. Tens of thousands more continue to battle devastating illnesses. The attacks still resonate deeply, especially for the victims' family and friends, many of whom gather at the 9/11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan for the annual reading of the names. Ceremonies are also held at the Pentagon and at the site near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed.
