New York’s poignant “Tribute in Light” ceremony has undergone a test run one week before the 19th anniversary of 9/11. Twin blue beams illuminated the lower Manhattan skyline in a preview of the Sept. 11 memorial and was a comforting sight for many New Yorkers.

The city had previously been informed that the 2020 tribute would be canceled owing to the pandemic.
