(WABC) February 26, 1993, was a day that changed New York City forever.
Tuesday marked 26 years since a car bomb exploded in an underground parking garage of the World Trade Center, killing six people and injuring hundreds.
The city held a solemn commemoration of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing at the 9/11 memorial plaza.
The ceremony also included a reading of victims’ names and a moment of silence at 12:18 p.m., when the bomb exploded and became a harbinger of more terror at the Twin Towers eight years later.
The bomb, in an underground parking garage, was set by Muslim extremists who sought to punish the U.S. for its Middle East policies, according to federal prosecutors.
