Nine years later, families to mark 9/11 anniversary
Photo credit: Newsday/Audrey C. Tiernan | Ninon Gunther and her husband John "Jack," reflect on the tragedy of 9/11. Jack was a carpenter during the construction of the World Trade Center. They hold a photo of him taken on the top of the tower. (Sept. 8, 2010)
Nine years later, the sharp edges of grief are somewhat blunted and the Ground Zero pile replaced by the frenetic activity of rebuilding.
Families will gather Saturday morning across the street from where their loved ones perished on Sept. 11, 2001. As they do every year, they will mark with silence the moments the towers fell. They will listen as 2,752 names are read.
Yet two blocks...
