After a long, international investigation, six terrorists were charged and convicted of these murders.

In 1995 a granite memorial fountain was erected on the World Trade Center plaza, directly above the site of the explosion, commemorating those killed. It contained the names of the six people who perished in the attack as well as an inscription that read: "On February 26, 1993, a bomb set by terrorists exploded below this site. This horrible act of violence killed innocent people, injured thousands, and made victims of us all."

This fountain was destroyed along with the rest of the World Trade Center during the attacks of September 11, 2001. The only piece of the fountain recovered was a fragment containing the name "John", the first name of one of the victims. Today they are commemorated as part of the 9/11 Memorial, the names of the victims of the 1993 attack are listed on the N-73 panel, a reminder to those visiting the 9/11 Memorial, near and far, that the events of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993, are forever linked. 

March 11 was the 3rd anniversary of the triple disaster in northeastern Japan. The earthquake resulted in a tsunami washing away whole towns and a nuclear disaster that is ongoing today. In October of 2012 and August of 2013 two groups of volunteer tour guides from the 9/11 Tribute Center traveled to Japan to give support to the victims of 3/11, particularly to the senior citizens and the families with young children who have been displaced from their homes and who live with an uncertain future. 

The Tribute volunteers shared their own experiences of loss and the gradual recovery they have experienced through taking action to do something positive for others. As a symbol of connection and concern, the Tribute volunteers brought the gift of an origami crane fashioned from World Trade Center steel. The sculpture is now a symbol of empathy and hope in Kaiseizan Park of Koriyama.

The attack, also known as 11-M, took place just days before the general elections, killing 191 people and wounding 1,800, between explosives planted and detonated on 4 trains.

On March 20, 1995, a sarin nerve gas attack on the Tokyo subway was an act of domestic terrorism. Flowers were placed at the station on the anniversary, and at 8 a.m.-the time it happened-a moment of silence. At the height of morning rush hour on the morning of March 20, 1995, in five coordinated attacks, the perpetrators released deadly sarin gas on several lines of the Tokyo Metro, killing 13 people and injuring 6,300, many of whom still suffer from nerve and vision damage today. The attack was directed against trains passing through Kasumigaseki and Nagatachō, home to the Japanese government

Family members of the victims and survivors of the attack formed the Tokyo Subway Sarin Incident Victims Association to advocate for victims' rights and recognition of the attack. In 2008, thirteen years after the event, Mrs. Takahashi, the founder of the Tokyo Subway Sarin Incident Victims Association, was pleased to share that a bill was passed by the Japanese government to recognize and provide benefits for the victims of the Tokyo Subway Sarin Gas Attack. Members of the 9/11 Tribute Center/September 11th Families' Association had traveled to Japan in 2005 in support of the Association at the request of Mrs. Takahashi.

Lee Ielpi returned to Japan with 9/11 Tribute Center docents to support victims devastated by the disaster.  Mrs. Takahashi was there to greet them and on this anniversary of the sarin attack, she said, "My family and I went to Kasumigaseki Station to extend our remembrance with flowers today. Time flies, and sometimes I am so concerned and frightened when I know that people forget that abhorrent terrorist subway sarin gas attack. For my simple little thought of not having that incident fade with time, I will continue to speak up. Lee, please know that you are the very person who made me stronger. I was determined to continue speaking up when I met you. You gave a tip to embrace hope not just for sarin gas incidents' victims like ourselves, but for people in Tohoku as well."
