Commemoration ceremonies took place throughout Southern California on Sunday to mark the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and several more were scheduled for the afternoon.
In Culver City, the bells at City Hall rang at 6:59 a.m., the same minute (Pacific time) that the World Trade Center's south tower collapsed in New York in 2011. In Echo Park, Los Angeles firefighters and other rescue workers who went to New York to assist in the aftermath of the attack gathered to remember the dead. On display during the ceremony was a 22-foot steel column that was originally part of the Twin Towers lobby.
Several events were planned for Malibu, where nearly 3,000 American flags dotted the lawn at Pepperdine University. The school held a memorial service in the morning and had scheduled a screening of "United 93." At 4 p.m., Beverly Hills officials planned to unveil a memorial garden to honor those who lost their lives.
