As we prepare to mark the 28th anniversary of the first attack on the World Trade Center that took place on February 26, 1993, with a commemorative ceremony and a virtual tour, we take a moment to remember the six people killed in the first terror attack on the Twin Towers.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum will host a commemorative ceremony and a virtual tour on Friday to honor the six people killed in the first attack at the World Trade Center on February 26, 1993.
