10:05 am
maybe they worked with people my dad died. >> james: earlier he did visit their as-54 that was one of the fire hoses that lost the most lives. 15 firefighters died september 11th. the mayor was with him. in any event, he was mayor of new york city at the time. the president did have a moment to >> about this firefighter's let's listen in. >> what the her prepared said the message around the world and back home, when we say we'll never forget we mean it. our commitment to make sure that justice is done is something that
10:06 am
transcends. it didn't matter which administration was then or who was in charge we're right to make sure that the perpetrators receive justice. it is some comfort i hope, as all of you know, when (inaudible) they did it in part because of the sacrifices that were made. >> james: again, he was speaking at that fire has 15 brave fire members less their live september 11th. back again a live picture of the world trade center where the president is meeting with family members of victims of that terrorist attack. i believe another
10:07 am
shot i thought i saw michelle obama. she may be there. we'll have to look for that shot. we know the president is there and the vice-president will be reforming a ceremony similar in nature. >> justine: the president is there was some elected officials from the new york area. when he put down the reed it was that the flood of the survivors tree. it was freed from the rubble. it is very important where you put that race. it has some significance. he put it at the foot of the survivors of trees. part of what obama did as he visited a fire station and stop by at a lower manhattan police station. here he is meeting with family members of 911 victims. they're supposed to be a private meeting. this could be what the west has
10:08 am
is considering private. because we cannot hear what the president is saying, though we are seeing a lot of hugs, shaking of hands just from reading lips of a lot of thank you, is. on the left-hand side just a higher vantage point looking down. >> james: we see a large crack of having formed around a memorial site. this will be going on for giselle little bit longer in your city. of course there were three locations where people died, the world trade center, the pentagon and of course united flight 93 that crashed, it was bound for california. so it is unclear this point is there be a ceremony at that site as well. at this point we do know the world trade center and the pentagon are on the schedule for the president and vice-president. we will follow his movement as he continues to make their
10:09 am
rounds shaking hands of those family members who died. and this is sustained injuries but did manage to survive. again, this is that there is that the he's made so far this morning he was earlier at engine-54. if you're just joining our coverage that was the fire has that lost 15 members of died on september 11th. when the president spoke to those firefighters said " this is a symbolic site of the extraordinary sacrifice made on that terrible day. he went on to look at the memorial where the hell plaques on the walls each one recognizing the lost man or woman with comments from the family's etched in to those plaques from there he traveled to a nearby police station where he talked to members of the first responders taking them for the extraordinary efforts
10:10 am
they made and the bravery they displayed on the timber relevant. and in the aftermath those i comic images of smoke, dust,- billing to the streets all lot of the news footage that we remember it shows firefighters employees of researchers trying as best they can to rush as many people out of that area all lot of them swallowed up by all of that smoke even to this date we know a lot of them suffered health effects as a result their path to recovery is not over but the president is out there, thinking them in person. all of this does come on the heels of the news earlier this week that osama bin laden was killed in pakistan during a military raid where two dozen members of seal team-6 the
10:11 am
and lead to counter- terrorism unit stormed a compound eye highly fortified compound in north east pakistan and successfully killed osama bin laden the no. 1 terrorist in the world wanted by not just the united states but a number of nations. >> justine: you may recognize one of the men as new york senator, he's standing sore right behind him wearing a blue tie. some 3000 people died. in the towers themselves. this is his first visit also to ground zero as president. the last time he was there was in 2008 when he was a candidate. >> james: the construction site bears little resemblance to the pit that
10:12 am
remained after the rubble of the towers was removed. the emerging skyscraper which is known as the freedom tower is more than 60 stories high. mamet fans, marked the footprints of the fall and towers. you kind of get an idea of what the layette is there now. obviously, this site there a far cry from what it was some 10 years ago. it's hard to imagine but it has been 10 years since the attacks 10 years that we've been hunting osama bin laden. the mastermind behind what has become the worst terrorist attack on american soil. the president and the west has found that sitting on the heels of his killing that they come to ground zero in to the pentagon to bring as much closer as they can to the victims and the families of those who died that day
10:13 am
obviously we've heard comments throughout the week from family members sang this will never, never bring complete closure but it does give some sense of injustice that the man who was behind that attack has finally met his end. the president did invite george w. bush to accompany him but, president bush declined saying that he wanted to stay out of the limelight. as we watch the president continued to shake hands with those that are there, family members of those that that we will take a quick break and be back with more coverage of the wreath laying ceremony in the event is scheduled to start momentarily with the price president. we will be right back with the kron 4 morning news, weather and traffic in just a few moments.

10:18 am
losses. the firemen 15 members killed that video, that was the president earlier this morning at the firehouse, those blacks the ec on the wall are a part of the memorial, each one recognized as one of those fallen firefighters their names etched on the plaque and messages from the families. the president took a moment to go over that memorial reflect on the sacrifices made in fact, he told members of the fire has that what happened this past sunday was because of the carriage of the military. he went on to say that we say we will never forget we mean what we say. there was a promise made back in 2001 by george w. bush, that they would hunt down and find in lot in dead or alive. some 10 years later, that became a reality. we're going to take a quick break, we'll be
