On September 11, 2003, America commemorated the second anniversary of the terrorist attacks in a low-key fashion. At ground zero, 200 children and young adults who had lost a relative in the attacks read the names of the 2,792 people who died there. At the Pentagon, Donald Rumsfeld presided the ceremony, while church bell rang across Shanksville, Pennsylvania, the site of the crash of flight UA93. George Bush attended an early church service. In most of the nation a 'One minute' silence was observed at 8.46, the time the first plane crashed in the World Trade Centre. The event was also recorded in most of the world.
