Summary
Families of victims, first responders and city leaders gathered in New York on Thursday ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks to honor those killed and reflect on the tragedy’s lasting toll.
Sean Jordan, born 15 days after firefighter Andrew Jordan Sr. died at the World Trade Center, said the loss remains immediate for relatives who still rely on stories from family and his father’s fire company.
Relatives said the consequences of 9/11 are still unfolding as more people exposed during the cleanup die, even as public memory of the attacks fades with time.
Andrew Jordan Jr. said the anniversary also underscores New Yorkers’ resilience, framing the remembrance as both a memorial for the dead and a testament to the city’s endurance.
