The heartbeat of millions of Americans will sync in honor Saturday morning as the nation collectively pauses in memory on the 20th anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Moments of silence will be held across the country — the first at 8:46 a.m. when American Airlines Flight 11 was deliberately crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, followed by the second crash into the South Tower at 9:03 a.m.
