A large drone display over New York City recreated the image of the Twin Towers, with organisers saying the 2,977 drones used in the performance each represented a person killed in the 9/11 attacks.
The aerial display used coordinated drones to form the outline of the towers in the city’s skyline. According to organisers, the number of drones was chosen to match the number of victims of the attacks.
The Twin Towers, part of the World Trade Center, remain one of the most recognisable symbols associated with 9/11. The drone recreation connected the visual image of the buildings with the individual lives lost, turning the display into a large-scale act of remembrance.
No further details were provided about the organisers, the exact location of the display, or any accompanying ceremony. The latest information available is that the display took place over New York City and was designed around the figure of 2,977 victims.
