9/11 church rings memorial bell given by London The church closest to the site of the 9/11 attacks, St Paul's Chapel, rung a memorial bell on Sunday at 8:46am, the exact moment the first plane struck the Twin Towers exactly 15 years ago. The bell, forged at the same foundry as the Liberty Bell in London, was a gift from that city to New York following the attacks.
