On September 11, 2026, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum held a commemorative event that included a seventh and final moment of silence. This additional tribute was specifically dedicated to honoring the lives lost due to health issues connected with being at or near the World Trade Center site following the September 11 attacks. The inclusion of this extra moment underscores the ongoing impact of the tragic events on first responders, survivors, and residents who have faced long-term health challenges as a result of exposure to toxic substances in the aftermath of the attack.
