Ceremony marks 6th anniversary of Sept 11 tragedy
At Zuccotti Park a smaller crowd of about 3,500 family members and mourners attended the sixth anniversary ceremony for Sept. 11. The event, moved from Ground Zero due to construction, featured brief readings and a flower-arrival ritual inside a reflecting pool. Observers noted less emotion and a shorter gathering amid rain and ongoing site work.
