Eighth anniversary of 9/11 marked in rain
Police and firefighters act as an honor guard around the reflecting pool during the eighth anniversary remembrance of the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, in New York, September 11, 2009. Most of the families of the victims who gathered at the annual ceremony to remember the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, had departed, but the honor guard remained. The beginnings of the Freedom Tower, which replaces the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, is visible at right. [Agencies] Eighth anniversary of 9/11 marked in rain
