ANNUAL GROUND ZERO CEREMONY TO HONOR 9/11 VICTIMS (Link to Live Stream)

NEW YORK -- Still-mourning family members will again gather at ground zero on the morning of Thursday, September 11, as has become the grim annual tradition, to mark the 13th anniversary of the terror attacks that rocked the nation and changed the way we live our daily lives.

>> WATCH LIVE STREAM HERE TOMORROW AT 8AM

Moments of silence will again mark each significant moment of the day, with bells tolling on six separate occasions, to mark the moments each plane hit the towers, the Pentagon and a field in Shanksville, as well as when both towers fell.

Memorial organizers are taking over primary responsibility for the ceremony from the city for the first time, and they plan to continue concentrating the event on victims' loved ones, even as the museum creates a new, broader framework for remembering 9/11.

At sundown, the Tribute in Light will again shine into the Lower Manhattan sky.

The twin beams of light also honor those who worked so hard to get New York City through its greatest trial. The lights, which can be seen for miles, fade away at dawn Friday.
