August
13

The ceremony will be held at a plaza near the site as the mayor had wanted. He had said that the site, now under construction, was no longer safe for the main ceremony.
But relatives of those who died in the terrorist attacks will be allowed to descend briefly into the pit of what had been the World Trade Center.
