25 years later, almost 3000 drones recreate the Twin Towers in the New York sky

New York marks this Friday, September 11, the 25th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. This milestone represents a quarter of a century since the tragic events of 2001 that shook the United States and the entire world.

Two days earlier, on Wednesday night, an impressive show was held in the sky over New York. Approximately 2977 drones were used to create a recreation of the Twin Towers in the firmament, providing a visual tribute to the buildings that were destroyed in the attacks.

The number of drones used, 2977, is not coincidental, symbolically representing each victim of the September 11, 2001 attacks. This detail gives the show a profound memorial significance, transforming modern technology into a tool of remembrance and tribute.

The drone event marks the commemorations that culminate on Friday, September 11, a date that continues to be of profound importance for New York and for the entire country, recalling one of the darkest moments in recent American history.
