What happens

Il Concerto per New York City fu un concerto di beneficenza che ospitò molti musicisti, svoltosi il 20 ottobre 2001 al Madison Square Garden di New York per celebrare le vittime degli attacchi dell'11 settembre 2001. Una buona parte del pubblico era composta dalle famiglie delle vittime e dai colleghi dei pompieri del New York City Fire Department e dei poliziotti del New York City Police Department morti nella tragedia. Durante la manifestazione, durata circa cinque ore, furono inoltre presentati cortometraggi di importanti registi ed intervennero alcune famose personalità. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
