Central Coast events commemorating the 20th anniversary of 9/11

KION

CENTRAL COAST, Calif. (KION-TV) -- Saturday marks twenty years since a series of terrorist attacks on the United States claimed the lives of almost 3,000 people.

The attacks happened on September 11, 2001 and saw multiple planes hijacked and crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in a field in Pennsylvania.

The Pentagon was badly damaged while the twin towers in New York collapsed after being struck by multiple airplanes.

Since then, many cities and law enforcement agencies take time each year to remember lives lost due to the horrific attacks and the impact it has had on communities across the U.S.

Below are samples of some of the events taking place on the Central Central Coast on 9/11:
