New York falls silent 10 years on

People around the globe stopped to remember the victims of the September 11 attack today, falling silent to mark the exact moment a decade ago that terrorists struck.

America led the tributes to those lost, with families of the dead joining US President Barack Obama and former President George Bush at a ceremony at the site of the World Trade Centre in New York where 2,753 were killed in the 2001 atrocity.
