Relatives read roll-call of 9/11 victims

Thousands of family members carrying framed pictures of their loved ones and wearing white ribbons of mourning arrived at Ground Zero today to mark the fourth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack that killed 2,749 people.

The roll of the lost began with Gordon M Aamoth Jr, an investment bank employee. Then, one after another, the names echoed across the site where the World Trade Centre towers collapsed four years ago in a nightmarish cloud of dust and debris.
