På ceremonin vid Ground Zero i New York väntas alla fyra levande ex-presidenter – Joe Biden, George W Bush, Barack Obama och Bill Clinton – delta.

USA:s nuvarande president Donald Trump har meddelat att han inte kommer närvara. Presidenten kommer istället delta vid en senare ceremoni vid militärhögkvarteret Pentagon.

Totalt ska sju tysta minuter hållas under dagen runt om i USA. En på klockslaget när varje torn träffades och ytterligare en när de föll.

En tyst minut kommer även att hållas vid tidpunkten för attacken mot Pentagon samt när flyg 93, där terroristerna övermannades av passagerare, kraschade utanför Pennsylvania.

En sjunde tyst minut kommer att hållas för alla som dog av hälsoeffekter från dåden.

Christopher Hardej on 9/11, survival and the politics surrounding the memorial site

Christopher Hardej, a 41-year-old employee of the New York City Transportation Authority, survived the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001 by getting out of the World Trade Center before the towers fell. He remembers his colleagues who stayed behind and regularly visits the memorial site to honor them. Hardej later participated in the US war on terror as a member of the National Guard and is now 66 years old and retired. He criticizes attempts to politicize the memorial site, including the debate surrounding Mayor Zohran Mamdani's attendance and Donald Trump's planned speech, and says the site should remain free of politics.

The company denies Russian clients but confirms previous contacts with a Russian security company. Experts believe that the training is probably not intended for combat in Ukraine.
