The annual 9/11 commemoration ceremony began in lower Manhattan Wednesday morning, marking 18 years since the terror attacks.
The ceremony on the 9/11 Memorial plaza at the World Trade Center started with a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., the time American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower on Sept. 11, 2001.
The names of the nearly 3,000 people who died on the day of the attacks, as well as the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, were being read aloud by family members. Watch live below.
