NM firefighters climb in honor of 9/11 victims

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — To mark the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, dozens of Albuquerque firefighters climbed 110 stories of the Bank of Albuquerque Tuesday, which is the same height as the Twin Towers.

The climb has been a tradition for Albuquerque firefighters since 2003, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

The Albuquerque Fire Department was the first department to organize and complete the climb in the nation.
