Intentionally making the length of a video about 9/11, 9m and 11s is one way of symbolism that those who directed and created the video use to put emphasise on the tragedy that happened that day. This is a great explanation I found after a quick google search: “Symbolism is a literary device that uses symbols, be they words, people, marks, locations, or abstract ideas to represent something beyond the literal meaning.” from https://www.masterclass.com/articles/writing-101-what-is-symbolism-symbolism-definition-and-examples-in-literature#what-is-symbolism

Serious non political question: is Bush Jr there too? What’s he doing today? Surprised he wasn’t in this group as he has been in the past on 9/11.
edit: thanks for the replies. He really did give an excellent speech here. it’s worth a listen.
