It's now fourteen years since the Twin Towers fell. But time has not fully taken away the sense of loss. Marking the day on which almost 3000 people died, America again came together to remember the worst terrorist attack in recent history.

The first plane hit one of the towers of the World Trade Center in New York.

And they read the names of every person who died - a task taking almost four hours to complete.</
