Families and loved ones of the victims of Flight 587 gathered in Belle Harbor Thursday morning to mark the 25th anniversary of the tragic plane crash that resulted in the deaths of 265 people on Nov. 12.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani led tributes to the victims of American Airlines Flight 587, which crashed into Belle Harbor on the morning of Nov. 12, 2001, while en route from JFK to the Dominican Republic. The crash occurred just two months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in a neighborhood that had lost over 70 residents on 9/11.
