   What do a gibbon, a sloth 1, and a newt havein common? One, you are going to see them in today’s show. Two, researchers areconcerned they might never be seen again. This is CNN’s Student News.


  A moment of silence in New York City, partof a day at memorials paying tribute to the victims of the 9/11 terroristattacks. Across the country yesterday, Americans paused to remember and reflecton the impact of that day in the country and the world. In New York, familymembers and others read the names of the more than 2,700 people who were killedwhen two hijacked 2 planes crashed into the World Trade Center. A new high risebuilding is under construction at the site. This large American flag wasdisplayed at the Pentagon, 184 people died there 11 years ago when anotherhijacked plane crashed into the building. And a ceremony in Shanksville, Pennsylvaniawhere a fourth plane crashed after passengers fought back against thehijackers. On the 11th anniversary of this devastating 3 attack, politics wereset aside. Leaders talked about the country’s determination and honored thevictims and their loved ones.
  “No matter how many years pass, no matter how many times we cometogether on this hallowed ground, know this, that you will never be alone. Yourloved ones will never be forgotten. They will endure in the hearts of ournation, because through their sacrifice, they help us make the America we aretoday.”
  “More than a decade has now passed since that day of tragedy. Butdivisions and the events are seared in the memory of every American. Weremember those who died. We marvel 4 at the courage of those who stormed thecockpit when they became aware of the malevolent 5 purpose of the hijackers. Wehold up and prayer the families and friends who’ve lived in the shadow cast bygrief.”
  Lot of changes happened after the 9/11attacks, like security checks at airports, shoes off, laptops out, hands up fora body scan. It’s led a longer line, but one organization is working on ways tospeed things back up without decreasing the amount of security. The ideas forthis, a futuristic checkpoint is a passenger walks through, technology runs asecurity scan. The goal is for better security and fewer lines, but someexperts say, it’ll take time and testing before this technology can be reliedon.
