The U.S. is remembering lives taken and others reshaped by 9/11. An American flag was unfurled over the side of the Pentagon on Wednesday morning, to remember the lives lost there.

The United States paused for a moment of reflection and remembrance on Wednesday, the 23rd anniversary of the horrific al-Qaida terrorist attacks on the country that killed nearly 3,000 people.

Relatives of those killed as hijacked airliners were crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York gathered at the Ground Zero memorial on a clear September morning not unlike that on September 11, 2001.

Another hijacked plane, which was believed en route to Washington, crashed in the rural community of Shanksville, Pennsylvania after passengers commandeered the cockpit from the hijackers.

A fourth hijacked aircraft crashed into one wall of the Pentagon.
