10 years on, your chance to respect the victims of 9/11

Metro today launches a new website, allowing readers to pay tribute to the victims of the 9/11 attacks.

The site, 911.metro.us, features breaking news and video on the 10th anniversary of the attacks on New York and the Pentagon.

And there’s also a public tribute area where readers can remember those lost or who suffered on 9/11.

“We think it’s important that our readers are able to remember those who died that day, or who are still suffering, from whatever cause, because of the 9/11 attacks.

“We’d also invite reflections from those who were not directly affected — 9/11 was one of the most important days in American history,” said Tony Metcalf, editor-in-chief of Metro USA.

Comments, which will be actively moderated, can be entered by liking Metro on Facebook (www.facebook.com/MetroNewYork, /MetroBoston and /Metro Philly.)

A selection will be used in the week starting Sept. 6, when Metro’s print titles, published in New York City, Boston and Philadelphia, will reflect on the 10th anniversary of 9/11.
