==Commemorative silence==

A common way to remember a tragic accident and to remember the victims or casualties of such an event is a commemorative silence. This usually means one or more "minutes of silence", in which one is supposed to not speak, but instead remember and reflect on the event. A commemorative silence may be held at a workplace, a school, and similar institutions. Sometimes a government will advertise a commemorative silence for a specific period at a specific time, which everybody are encouraged (but not forced) to honor. One such example is after the [[9/11 terrorist attacks|events of 9/11]], when many governments around the world announced 3 minutes of silence in respect of the victims of the event.
