First responders across the nation, and locally, commemorate the day by climbing the equivalent of the former World Trade Center's 110 stories.
In what has now become a years-long tradition, first responders honored the anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks Sunday by climbing the equivalent of the 110 stories of the former World Trade Center.
At Mechanicsburg’s Ark Fitness, three local firefighters used the fitness center’s stair machines to replicate the stairs up the World Trade Center towers that were destroyed Sept. 11, 2001. “We were really excited that they came out to do that,” said Ark Fitness owner Noah Snyder, who took video of the climb and shared it via Facebook. “We were more than happy to accommodate them.”
In the years since the events of 9/11, stair climbs have become a way to remember those first responders who climbed the stairs of the World Trade Center towers to rescue those trapped within. Most of those first responders were killed when the towers collapsed.
