At the National Stadium, a tribute to the 9/11 first responders took place, during which 110 flights of stairs were climbed. This number represents exactly the steps that firefighters and other rescuers climbed on the day of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York.
The celebration marked 25 years since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 in the United States. The event at the National Stadium served as a way to remember and honor the memory of those who risked their lives during the rescue operations.
The article notes that, 25 years later, time has not erased what was experienced that day in New York. The tribute demonstrates that the impact of the events remains present in the collective memory, even after more than two decades.
The activity was carried out by participants who wanted to experience, even symbolically, a small part of the physical and emotional effort that the first responders faced during the rescue operations in the ruins of the towers.
