ARLINGTON, VA (CBS) -- On the 11th anniversary of the September 11th attacks - President Obama and the First Lady laid a wreath at the Pentagon to remember those killed in 2001.

Within 30 minutes of two planes hitting the World Trade Center twin towers, American Airlines Flight 77 departed Dulles International Airport bound for Los Angeles. The Boeing 757 was hijacked and crashed, loaded with 10,000 gallons of fuel, at 345 mph into the west side of the Pentagon.

Fifty-eight passengers, four flight attendants, and both pilots on board, as well as 125 occupants of the Pentagon, died.

We have a photo gallery of photos of people in New York City honoring the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
