The plot of land known for a decade as "the pile,'' "the pit'' and "Ground Zero'' is opening to the public for the first time since that terrible morning in 2001
An emotional ceremony took place in the shadow of the new World Trade Center as New York City and the world marked the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
While the eyes of the world turned to the World Trade Center site and 9/11 National Memorial in Lower Manhattan for the ceremony marking 10 years since the attack on America, it was far from the only memorial taking place.
The 9/11 Memorial design centers on the acre-size reflecting pools set within the footprints of where the Twin Towers once stood.
More than 1,700 bikers participated in the four-day event, which started in Somerset, Pennsylvania and stopped in Washington DC before ending in New York City.
The names of the 9/11 victims have always been read, but now the victims from the other attacks will also be remembered.
