Biden, Harris mark 9/11 at all three sites, at times overlapping with Trump

Vice President Harris and President Biden traveled Wednesday from New York City to Shanksville, Pa., to honor the 9/11 victims of United Flight 93, before finishing out the day at the Pentagon, some of which overlapped with stops made by former President Trump.

At the Pentagon, Biden and Harris marked a ceremony honoring those who died there when hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 crashed. They walked up to a red, white and blue wreath and bowed their hands while “Taps” played.

They were joined by Joint Chiefs chair CQ Brown Jr., and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. The four officials stood in front of a plaque with the names of those who died at the Pentagon on Sept. 11.

In Pennsylvania, Harris and Biden laid a white and red wreath down at the memorial site near where the plane crashed into an open field. Both leaders were silent and did not address the crowd before walking through the memorial at 12:37 p.m. and out to the crash site.

United Flight 93 was one of four planes hijacked by terrorists, but it never made it to its final destination after passengers on the flight made phone calls to authorities and their loved ones alerting them of the situation. The passengers eventually took control of the flight, which ended in a high-speed crash over the Pennsylvania field.

Biden and Harris earlier in the day stood in a row with former President Trump and his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio), at the New York City ceremony to memorialize the victims at the World Trade Center.

Harris and Trump shook hands at the start of the ceremony , an exchange that appeared to be facilitated by former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg just hours after the two faced off in a contentious debate in Philadelphia.

After the ceremony, Trump visited the New York City Fire Department Engine 4/Tower Ladder 15, where he posed for photos and chatted with firefighters and their family members.

The former president was also slated to visit the Flight 93 Memorial in Pennsylvania on Wednesday afternoon.
