NEW YORK – The National September 11th Memorial, together with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, remembered the lives of the six innocent victims killed in the February 26, 1993, World Trade Center bombing on the 32nd anniversary of the terrorist attack.

A moment of silence was observed at 12:18 P.M., the time of the bomb’s detonation, which killed John DiGiovanni, Robert Kirkpatrick, Stephen Knapp, William Macko, Wilfredo Mercado, and Monica Rodriguez Smith, who was pregnant at the time. Each victim’s name would be read aloud by family members during the annual ceremony attended by victims’ family, survivors, friends, 9/11 Memorial Museum President and CEO Elizabeth L. Hillman, and others.

Following the program, attendees were invited to place roses on the victims’ names that are etched in bronze together on Panel N-73 of the Memorial’s North Pool, not far from One World Trade Center. The six names are alongside those of 9/11 victims.
