From this tragedy, the world came together.  

On that day, we were all one community.

In London, several hundred people stood somberly outside the gates of Buckingham Palace as the U.S. national anthem was played at a special Changing of the Guard ceremony, followed by a two-minute silence. International insurer Lloyd's of London rang a bell salvaged from British Frigate HMS Lutine in the 19th century that traditionally signals news of a missing ship, but has been rung to mark other tragedies, like the death of Princess Diana. Finnish radio stations stopped broadcasting at noon, and more than 400 trams and buses in Helsinki stopped for one minute of silence. Austria, church bells rang for three minutes, then fell quiet as people joined in three minutes of silence. Putting aside months of angry words over Taiwan and a spy plane collision, Chinese President Jiang Zemin offered help with rescue efforts, telling Bush that Beijing wants to work with Washington and other governments to fight terrorism. In Japan, professional baseball players and 14,000 fans observed a moment of silence before their game at Osaka Dome. South Korea declared Friday as a national mourning day for victims, the first time it has made such a gesture for another country. In Paris, the Republican Guard played "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the Elysee Palace after the three-minute silence. In the Scottish town of Lockerbie, where 270 died when a plane was blown out of the sky in December 1988, the town hall bell rang out. Germany called for five minutes of silence for the entire nation, and hundreds gathered in front of the U.S. Embassy in Berlin, amid a sea of flowers spread along the street leading to the building.
