An impressive display of 2,977 drones lit up the New York sky, recreating the Twin Towers in memory of the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
On the night of Wednesday, September 9, thousands of drones were used in New York City to visually recreate the Twin Towers as part of the tributes marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
The spectacle, titled "2,977 Lights Over New York Harbor," utilized exactly 2,977 drones, each one representing a victim of the terrorist attacks that claimed nearly three thousand lives.
The initiative aimed not only to honor those who lost their lives but also to remind everyone of the significance of those events in the recent history of the United States. Among the victims, many were individuals who worked in the area and visitors, reflecting the city's diversity at the time.
