The Americans began to gather in the place of the ceremony in the morning. At nine o'clock people honored the memory of the victims of terrorism with a minute of silence. The time chosen for the start of the ceremony was not accidental - the first terrorist-run aircraft crashed into one of the towers of the World Trade Center at about nine o'clock in the morning.
