Firefighters and cops who raced to the burning trade World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001, will watch in one room at a Brooklyn Army post, while victims will watch from another. Media, family members and members of the public can watch on three separate screens at Fort Meade in Maryland.

For this week’s unusual military commissions arraignment at Guantanamo of five men accused of orchestrating the 9/11 attacks, including Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the Pentagon has put four East Coast military bases into service. On Friday, the Pentagon published an order by Army Col. James Pohl, the chief of the war court, to open viewing sites for the May 5 arraignment “due to the serious nature of the crimes alleged and the historic nature of military commissions.”

The five are accused of organizing, training and funneling funds to the 9/11 hijackers and could face the death penalty if convicted at trial.

The general public can watch only by going to Fort Meade, where the proceedings will be transmitted over closed-circuit TV. They will not be broadcast.
