9/11 Ground Zero: America Rising

Where Were You That Day?

Did you know the wreckage of the World burned for 99 days straight? Firefighters tended to the seemingly endless inferno around the clock.

In 2001, the World Trade Center was attacked by terrorists, leading to the biggest loss of life in history on American soil. The attack, coordinated to occur along with several other airplane hijackings and catastrophic collisions, was a moment that shook our nation to its core, with its devastating effects still felt today. The breathtaking monuments and memorials erected at New York City's "ground zero" serve as a tribute to the victims and heroes of 9/11.

"This was such an emotional tour! We learned so much and we're so grateful for the experience."
