September 11

Comedian Jon Stewart scolded Congress for failing to ensure that a victims' compensation fund set up after the 9/11 attacks never runs out of money.

The House Judiciary Committee voted unanimously to reauthorize the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Wednesday. The bill would guarantee support for sick first responders and survivors of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks until 2090.

Authorities have identified the remains of a 9/11 victim found at the World Trade Center.

After Jon Stewart tore into the House Judiciary Committee for being noticeably absent during a hearing on a bill that would advance the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund until 2090 last week, he's now taking shots at Mitch McConnell for what he views as a lack of compassion.  

An ailing 9/11 first responder who testified on Capitol Hill during a hearing to increase funding for the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund only a week ago is now in hospice.

A 9/11 first responder has died two weeks after an emotional appearance on Capitol Hill with Jon Stewart, his family said Saturday.

A photo taken on the 18th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks appears to show clouds shaped like a firefighter running toward an angel. 

While the date of Sept. 11 often carries a sadness with it for many Americans in remembrance of the horrific terrorist attacks that took place in 2001, the day has also become a joyous one for a couple in Tennessee.

As America marked the 18th anniversary of the worst terror attack on U.S. soil Wednesday, many remembered the countless lives lost and selfless acts by the brave responders on September 11, 2001 — both human and four-legged.

You might remember where you were during the Sept. 11 attacks.

U.S. President George W. Bush visited Ground Zero, standing with rescue workers, firefighters and police officers atop smoldering rubble of the fallen Twin Towers, giving a speech that still echoes 18 years later.

Americans are commemorating 9/11 with mournful ceremonies, volunteering, appeals to "never forget" and rising attention to the terror attacks' extended toll on responders.

The death toll of New York police officers from exposure to deadly toxins from the wreckage in the years since the attacks has grown to 241. 

For students from elementary to high school, the Sept. 11 terrorist attack isn't a memory. It's history. A new HBO documentary that debuts on the event's 18th anniversary treats it that way.

On September 11, 2001, a total of 19 terrorists hijacked four airplanes, crashing two of them into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a Pennsylvania field, killing thousands of Americans in the process and wreaking destruction that, in its aftermath, has continued to claim lives.

A firefighter from Long Island who died in the World Trade Center attacks was remembered for a second time on the eve of the 18th anniversary of 9/11.

On September 11, 2001, more than 2,600 people perished at the World Trade Center, 125 people died at the Pentagon and 256 people died on four airplanes after terrorists hijacked the planes and turned them into guided missiles.

Wednesday marks the 18th anniversary of the September 11th attacks, and people around the world are remembering the first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11.
