MOURNERS COMFORT EACH OTHER AT GROUND ZERO SITE DURING MEMORIAL FOR ATTACK VICTIMS, 2002-09-11 (photo)

Mourners comfort each other as they lay flowers and photos at the "Circle of Honor" at the ground zero site where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood, September 11, 2002 while the names of the victims are read out loud, in New York september 11, 2002. One by one, the names of 2,801 victims of the World Trade Center attacks echoed over the devastated site on Wednesday as New York marked the painful first anniversary of the September 11, 2001 hijacked plane strikes. In an outpouring of mass grief and remembrance, tens of thousands converged on the place known as "ground zero" in the U.S. war on terrorism, craning their necks in the sunlight to see the podiums where the names were read.
