Thousands Join Colorado 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb At Red Rocks
The Colorado 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb raises more that a million dollars each year for FDNY Counseling Services Unit and other programs.
MORRISON, Colo. (CBS4) – Thousands of people gathered at Red Rocks Wednesday to honor the 343 FDNY firefighters and almost 3,000 Americans killed in terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. The Colorado 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb raises more that a million dollars a year for FDNY Counseling Services Unit and other programs that all help support families of fallen firefighters.
The event began with a moment of silence at 8:46 a.m., the moment when American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center 18 years ago. The stair climb began at 9:03 a.m., the moment hijackers crashed United Airlines Flight 175 into the South Tower.
