VIDEO/PHOTOS: The memory of the victims of the September 11th, 2001 attacks was on the minds of dozens of people at AT&T Field in Chattanooga Monday morning. With a week before the 22nd remembrance of that dark day, first responders and the public climbed stairs in their memory.
2,977 people lost their lives in the 9/11 terrorist attack.
Some of them were firefighters who were trying to make their way to the top of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center when it collapsed.
"They will actually climb the equivalent of 110 stories, which is obviously what the World Trade Center was," says Britt Bradshaw, coordinator for the stair climb event. "We do have some new people that come every year, families have started coming." AT&T Field saw dozens walk along the stairs in honor of those firefighters.
