\n Facing mounting outrage over its decision to cancel the Tribute in Light, the 9\/11 Memorial and Museum has backed down and agreed to stage the beloved display on the 19th anniversary of the 9\/11 attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the last 24 hours we\u2019ve had conversations with many interested parties and believe we will be able to stage the tribute in a safe and app<\/a>ropriate fashion,\u201d CEO Alice Greenwald said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Greenwald had announced on Thursday that it would drop the commemoration, featuring twin beams shining in the sky over Ground Zero, for fear of exposing some 40 electrical workers to COVID-19.<\/p>\n

But the decision stirred widespread opposition in New York and around the country.<\/p>\n

Immedia<\/a>tely, the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation stepped up to create the same light show on the evening of September 11.<\/p>\n

Electricians who had erected the lights in earlier years volunteered to help, and the Siller foundation planned to hire others who had lost work on Broadway, CEO Frank Siller, whose firefighter brother died on 9\/11, told The Post.<\/p>\n

Firefighter and police unions jumped aboard to offer their support.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody\u2019s upset, everybody. I\u2019ve never seen a reaction like this in the 19 years we\u2019ve been in existence,\u201d Siller said.<\/p>\n

Ex-mayor Michael Bloomberg, chairman of the 9\/11 Memorial and Museum, said in a statement, \u201cThroughout my tenure as Mayor the Tribute in Light was a powerful symbol of New York\u2019s recovery after 911. I am pleased that once again it will shine this year as a beacon of our city\u2019s resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gov. Cuomo said, \u201cThis year it is especially important that we all appreciate and commemorate 9\/11, the lives lost, and the heroism displayed \u200eas New Yorkers are once again called upon to face a common enemy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand the Museum\u2019s concern for health and safety, and appreciate their reconsideration,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe state will provide health personnel to supervise to make sure the event is held safely while at the same time properly honoring 9\/11. We will never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sally Regenhard, whose firefighter son Christian was killed in the attacks, was elated at the memorial\u2019s backflip, saying the organization \u201cit was unable to defend their outrageous action.\u201d<\/p>\n

She blasted the management and called for the feds to take it over:\u00a0\u201cIt is clear that patriotism, respect and reverence is needed at Ground Zero. It\u2019s time for the National Park Service to assume operations and control of the 9\/11 Memorial.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
