Michael NannyBloomberg says New Yorkers should observe the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks by looking to the future.
Bloomberg said in an interview with the CBS News program "Face the Nation" that the anniversary is "a time to rededicate ourselves to look forward."
He said the people who died at the World Trade Center were working for a living to take care of their families.
Bloomberg said the living should work to make sure that the families of those who died have good schools and good jobs.
In the interview broadcast Sunday morning, Bloomberg also said New York "is probably the safest city in the world." He said the city has 1,000 coppers dedicated to intelligence and counterterrorism.
