9/11 Memorial 9/11 Memorial No Data

Description


The foot prints of the South and North towers of the World Trade Centre have been turned into a memorial to all those who died as a result of the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers on September 11th 2001. Single trickles of water fall down the sides of what would have been the edge of the foundations of each tower where they meet in a pool at the bottom and then merge to form a cascade down into a lower pool. Around the top the names of every victim is cut into the stone. In the heart of the bustle of downtown Manhattan the memorial remains a quiet place of contemplation. Each day roses are placed in the names of anyone whose birthday it would have been, had they survived - adding to the poignancy.
