Finance Remembers Friends Lost on 9/11

Security Traders Association sent out a message, Miracles are in the Eyes of the Beholder, written by president and chief executive Jim Toes in 2021. An extract is below:

“It was a miracle that more than 17,000 people who were in the WTC when the first plane hit were able to evacuate. It was also a miracle that brave souls aboard United Airlines Flight 93 had the self-awareness to realize their plane was a weapon and after taking a vote followed Todd Beamer’s war cry of “let’s roll,” overpowering the terrorists and sacrificing their lives for others. Yes, there were miracles of all kinds on September 11, 2001, and while they could not reverse the tragedies experienced that day, they provided us with the inspiration, will and resolve to move forward.”

Exchanges held a moment of silence :

Please be advised the MIAX Exchanges will observe one minute of silence at 9:20 AM ET on Wednesday, September 11, 2024 to honor 9/11 victims, survivors, and their families.
