Good morning and welcome to your new day. i m boris sanchez. i m christi paul. it s saturday, september 11th. we are so grateful to have you with us this morning as always because today we re all pausing to mark this grim day. 20 years since the september 11th attacks. it s hard to believe that it s been two decades and it s hard to really over state just how impactful this day has been in american history. last night the tower of light lit up the sky from lower manhattan where nearly 3,000 people lost their lives. this morning there s a similar tribute over the pentagon. we watched just moments ago as the pentagon unfurled the american flag over the west side of the pentagon, a tribute to those lives that were taken there. 20 years have passed since terrorists hijacked planes
And perhaps days and weeks for that matter, the 11th of september, a day that will have a dark, dark mark in american history. good morning. it is saturday, september 11th. i m lindsay riser. i m alex witt. thank you for joining us, we mark 20 years since 9/11. and i m kind kendis gibson.
