Members of the U.S. Congress bow their heads in silence in memory of the victims of the terrorist attacks during a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol September 11, 2001. From left to right are: Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D/SD), Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott (R/MS), Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R/IL) and House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt (D/MO). The members of Congress met together to show their unity in a time of crisis and to reassure the nation that the government will continue to run normally. In the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor, three hijacked planes slammed into the Pentagon and New York's landmark World Trade Center on Tuesday, demolishing the two 110-story towers that symbolize U.S. financial might.
