DETAILS: On Sept. 11, 2001 and the following days, more than 30,000 people gathered around International Fountain for a flower vigil that became one of many such spontaneous gatherings around the world expressing the depth of humanity's capacity for empathy and compassion when faced with great loss and sorrow.

There will be no speeches or presentations. At 5:46 a.m., the Kobe Bell will sound, correlating to the time that the North Tower was struck.
