Columbus to remember 9-11 attacks on Monday

Columbus will be observing the Sept. 11th anniversary again this year.

The 16th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks will be remembered Monday with a ceremony at Columbus City Hall. That will start at 8:40 a.m. and the city is inviting members of the community to attend. A moment of silence will be held at 8:46 a.m. to commemorate the moment, when the first plane hit the Twin Towers in New York City. There will also be a message sent over emergency radios by the dispatch center, commemorating the first responders and citizens who lost their lives in the attacks.

There will be a presentation by the city fire and police color guards and comments by city officials. Eighth graders from CSA Central Middle School will place flags on the lawn of City Hall in commemoration of the attack.

The ceremony is expected to last about half an hour.
