        Twin beams of light representing the World Trade Center towers won't be beamed into the sky during this year's memorial of the 9/11 terror attacks in New York City because of concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, organizers of the annual ceremony said Thursday.
        
        Michael Frazier, a spokesman for National September 11 Memorial & Museum, said organizers were concerned about the health risks to workers who would set up the display.
        
        "The world's beloved twin beams of light regrettably will not shine over Lower Manhattan as part of this year's tributes," Frazier said in a statement.
