President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden will pay their respects at the same memorial without crossing paths.</p>

<p>In New York, victims’ relatives began gathering for split-screen remembrances, one at the September 11 memorial plaza at the World Trade Centre and another on a nearby corner, set up by a separate 9/11-related organisation.</p>
<figure id="attachment_161874" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-161874" style="width: 600px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img src="https://londonglossy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/FA23DAD8-5948-4EBF-BBA9-88B9E59910EA.jpeg" alt="" width="600" height="338" class="size-full wp-image-161874" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-161874" class="wp-caption-text">A large American flag is unfurled at the Pentagon ahead of ceremonies to mark 9/11</figcaption></figure>
<p>The Stephen Siller Tunnels to Towers Foundation objected to the memorial’s decision to forgo a longstanding tradition of having relatives read the names of the dead, often adding poignant tributes. Memorial leaders said the change for the 19th anniversary of the terror attacks was a coronavirus safety precaution.<br />
Kathy Swift arrived early at the alternative ceremony, wearing a T-shirt honouring her killed brother, Thomas Swift, who worked in finance.</p>
<p>“We still have to remember,” said Ms Swift. “The whole country’s going downhill. It’s one thing after another, and now with the Covid. I’m glad they’re still having this, though.”</p>

<p>Mr Trump and Mr Biden are both headed — at different times — to the Flight 93 National Memorial near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">In 2001, our Nation, united under God, made an unbreakable promise never to forget the nearly 3,000 innocent Americans who were senselessly killed on September 11th.

<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1304384845280403456?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 11, 2020</a></p></blockquote>

<p>Vowing to never forget the nearly 3,000 people who died on 9/11, Mr Trump tweeted that the United States is honouring a commitment made in 2001 to always remember the “innocent Americans who were senselessly killed”.</p>
<p>The anniversary of 9/11 is a complicated occasion as the US grapples with a health crisis, searches its soul over racial injustice and prepares to choose a leader to chart a path forward.<br />
Still, 9/11 families say it is important for the nation to pause and remember the hijacked-plane attacks at the trade centre, the Pentagon in Washington and near Shanksville in 2001.</p>
