Bereaved family names victims at Ground Zero... 7 times of silence according to the time of the terrorist tragedy

Vance attended the New York memorial service... Trump holds a separate memorial service at the Pentagon

(New York = Yonhap News) Correspondent Soo-jeong Lim = On the 11th, to mark the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, which were recorded as the worst disaster in the United States, the United States will hold a large-scale memorial event centered on three terrorist sites: Ground Zero in the southern part of Manhattan in New York City, the Pentagon building near Washington DC, and Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Ground Zero is the site of the former World Trade Center (WTC), which collapsed in a terrorist attack in 2001. The Pentagon is where American Airlines Flight 77 crashed, and Shanksville is where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed.

According to the event information of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum and foreign media reports on the 7th (local time), the official memorial ceremony will begin at 8:30 a.m. at Ground Zero in New York, where the largest number of victims were left.

The names of a total of 2,983 people, including 2,977 victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and 6 victims of the 1993 WTC bombing, will be personally read by the bereaved families.

Starting at 8:46 a.m. when the first plane crashed into the WTC's north tower, a total of six moments of silence will be observed at each time the second plane crashed into the south tower, the Pentagon was hit, the south tower collapsed, United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania, and the north tower collapsed.

This year, a separate moment of silence will be added to honor those who died from illness and injuries incurred during rescue and recovery operations.

The name reading will continue until around 1 p.m. and conclude with the performance of the requiem song 'Taps'.

It is reported that US Vice President JD Vance will attend the memorial service in New York on behalf of the administration.

President Donald Trump plans to attend the memorial event at the Pentagon instead of New York. President Trump met with reporters on the 28th of last month and confirmed that he would attend the Pentagon event rather than New York.

President Trump also attended the memorial service held at the Pentagon building with First Lady Melania Trump last year.

A memorial event will be held at 'Flight 93 National Memorial Park' in Shanksville from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. on the 11th. At the event, the names of the sacrificed passengers and crew are read and a memorial bell is rung in their honor.

A speech and music program will be held from 1 to 2:30 p.m., and will end with the public participating in wreath-laying at the 'Name Wall', a memorial wall with the names of the victims engraved on it.

Open Questions

  • Who are the other national representatives attending the memorial service?
  • What are the specific standards for silence related to illness and injury added this year?
  • Are any changes expected in the scale or format of future terrorist memorial events?

China's Inspur Group caught exporting AI chips via Southeast Asia to avoid US sanctions

The New York Times reported that after China's Inspur Group was subject to U.S. sanctions, it was evading export regulations by exporting Nvidia AI chips to Southeast Asia through its subsidiary iBreath and allowing Chinese companies to use them remotely. According to an analysis of trade records, at least $5.6 billion worth of high-tech equipment was exported to Southeast Asia from April last year to February this year, of which more than $3 billion were computers equipped with NVIDIA Blackwell chips.
