The Tower of Light will be lit each night until early Sunday morning in remembrance of those we lost and those who sacrificed on Sept. 11, 2001.

The organization behind the tribute, Tunnel to Towers, says on clear nights the light beam can reach 18,000 feet in the air and be seen up to 60 miles away.
Similar light tributes are held in New York and at the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
