Organizations post remembrances on social media for 9/11
Americans have taken to Twitter and Facebook to share messages of mourning and resilience in memory of victims of the coordinated terrorist attacks that killed 2,996 people.
It’s been 17 years since terrorists used airplanes to attack the United States—but the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, are far from forgotten.
Many organizations took a moment to remember the heroes, victims and survivors of the terrorist attacks that claimed lives in New York City, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C. The attacks killed almost 3,000 people and injured over 6,000 others.
Twitter was a common channel for posting messages affirming American ideals. Organizations including the National Men’s Soccer team posted videos, and organizations such as NASA showed photos demonstrating institutional tributes to the losses suffered that day.
