Next Tuesday night, Bay Ridge remembers
Bay Ridge residents, who lost 32 of their neighbors in the Sept. 11 terrorist attack, gather on the 69th Street pier on every anniversary of that horrendous day to honor those who died when hijacked jetliners crashed into the World Trade Center towers.
They will do so again this year.
Led by state Sen. Marty Golden, hundreds of Bay Ridgeites are expected to come to the pier at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 11, to pray, sing, light candles, and hear a 21-gun salute. The families of several Sept. 11 victims are among those who are expected to make the pilgrimage to the pier.
