Presidents Biden, Obama, and Clinton Mark 20 Years Since Flight 11 Hit North Tower with Moment of Silence

President Joe Biden was joined by former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton for a moment of silence commemorating the 20th anniversary of the first plane that hit the World Trade Center.

On Saturday morning, President Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden strolled to the memorial with President Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, and President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Following a color guard ceremony, the Young People’s Chorus of New York performed a beautiful rendition of The Star-Spangled Banner, as the former presidents and first ladies solemnly listened.

At 8:46 a.m., twenty years to the minute after American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center, the presidents and the nation fell silent in memory of the lives that were lost in that instant, and on that day.

Former President George W. Bush will deliver a speech later Saturday at the Flight 93 National Memorial in Shanksville, PA. President Biden will visit all three sites on Saturday: Lower Manhattan, the Shanksville memorial, and the Pentagon in Washington, DC.

Former President Jimmy Carter will mark the anniversary in private.

Former President Donald Trump will do color commentary for a boxing match Saturday night.
