It's 20 years since the 9/11 attacks in the USA.

People came to services to remember the attacks.

Terrorists crashed four passenger planes and destroyed New York's twin towers.

Bells were rung for moments of silence.

They marked the time each plane crashed and when each twin tower fell.

2,977 people's names were read out by their families.

40 percent of the people were never found, which gave these services more importance.

President Biden spoke about remembering.

The attacks killed one of Mark Papadimitriou's friends.

He's sure that memorial services send a positive message.

They show families that we haven't forgotten.

George W Bush, who was president when the attacks happened, spoke in Pennsylvania at the Flight 93 memorial.

He remembered how united the American people were then.

The number of people killed by the 9/11 attacks is increasing.

The explosions contained particles and chemicals which cause health problems.
