MA marks anniversary of Sept. 11 attacks
Massachusetts is planning to mark the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks with public and private memorial services.
The Saturday anniversary begins with a morning commemoration on Boston Common, followed by the annual Sept. 11 remembrance ceremony on the Statehouse steps at 8:30 a.m. The names of Massachusetts residents killed in the attack will be read.
At 11 a.m., public officials will gather for a ceremony at the Massachusetts Fallen Firefighters Memorial, located next to the Statehouse.
At Logan International Airport, American Airlines and United Airlines will conduct private memorials at the departure gates of Flight 11 and Flight 175. The two hijacked planes that felled the World Trade Center took off from the airport.
Nearly 3,000 people died in the 2001 attacks.
