Ceremonies marking 9/11 look much different due to pandemic

Nineteen years ago Friday, nearly 3,000 American lives were lost when planes were hijacked and flown into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and into a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

But as the U.S. commemorates that day of infamy, it is simultaneously grappling with the coronavirus.

About 191,000 lives have been lost in the United States so far – some 60 times more than on 9/11.

Due to the pandemic, ceremonies that normally take place to commemorate this tragic day are starkly different this year.
