9/11 Ceremonies To Be Held Statewide

Dallas, TX – A number of ceremonies will be held today across Texas on this seventh anniversary of the deadly 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Four commercial planes -- including two operated by Fort Worth-based American Airlines -- were hijacked and crashed on September 11, 2001.

A candlelight vigil tonight will be part of the commemoration as part of the 9/11 Flight Crew Memorial Foundation in Grapevine.

In all, 33 airline crew members were killed when terrorists took over and crashed two American planes and two United Airlines jets -- in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington D.C.
