20 years later: The legacy of 9/11
10 SEP 2021 · This week, we commemorate the 20th anniversary of 9/11, which forever changed our lives and our city. NY1’s Zack Fink, Courtney Gross and Juan Manuel Benítez reflect on the many ways our perception of public safety has changed, and analyze how the threat of terrorism has morphed since 2001. They also weigh in on President Biden’s visit to our area, following last week’s catastrophic storm. After assessing the scope of the damage in Queens, the president issued a dire call for action on climate change, but is his own administration doing enough to tackle the crisis?
