A light tribute that commemorates those who lost their lives in the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks will not take place this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, officials announced this week.

The “Tribute in Light,” which sees twin beams of light echoing the shape and orientation of the Twin Towers shine up to four miles into the sky over Lower Manhattan in New York City, will not shine this year, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum says on its website.
