U.S. Coast Guardsmen assigned to Maritime Safety and Security Team (MSST) Boston conduct security sweeps of New York Harbor Sept. 11, 2014.
MSST Boston helped MSST New York provide a heightened security presence on the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Terrorists hijacked four passenger aircraft Sept. 11, 2001. Two of the aircraft were deliberately crashed into the World Trade Center in New York; one was crashed into the Pentagon; the fourth crashed near Shanksville, Pa. Nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks. (DoD photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Frank J. Iannazzo-Simmons, U.S. Coast Guard/Released). Original public domain image from Flickr
