A Twitter user posted video of Hillary Clinton appearing to faint as she was ushered into a van at 9/11 memorial ceremony in New York City Sunday.
As the event began on Sunday at the site of the World Trade Center that was attacked by two hijacked airliners 15 years ago, there was patchy sunlight, with temperatures at about 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.6 Celsius).

Media attending the event were left wondering where the presidential candidate disappeared to as she had left 90 minutes after the event began.
Another 90 minutes later her campaign team issued a statement which read that she attended the morning ceremony for 90 minutes “to pay her respects and greet some of the families of the fallen.
“During the ceremony, she felt overheated so departed to go to her daughter’s apartment, and is feeling much better,” Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said in the statement.

Clinton walked out of daughter Chelsea Clinton’s apartment on her own and made only a brief comment to the reporters waiting outside, saying “It’s a beautiful day in New York.”
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump repeatedly has raised questions about Clinton’s health and whether she had the “stamina” to serve as president.
