New York and Washington, D.C. are under tight security in response to a terror threat during the 10th Anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. What steps are being taken to increase security here in the bay area? NBC Bay Area's Cheryl Hurd reports from San Francisco.
The most obvious participation in 9/11 events here in the Bay Area will happen at 10 a.m. Sunday morning.
That is the time many cities across Northern California will participate in a National Moment of Remembrance of the 10th Anniversary of Sept. 11 terror attacks.
It will last a minute. And instead of a quiet display, people and emergency officials are being encouraged to make some noise.
At 10 a.m., sirens, horns and church bells will ring out.
People are being asked to stop all work or other activity, if possible, and mark the moment in an appropriate manner. You're asked to pause and remember those who lost their lives ten years ago today.
