A Sight to Behold
Just returned from trip to NYC and a visit to the National September 11 Memorial. This photo montage shows the construction of the tower, very beautiful, indeed, and two pools set in the footprints of the original Twin Towers. These pools are situated where the twin towers used to stand. Thirty-foot waterfalls — the largest in North America — cascade into the pools, each then descending into a center void. The names of the victims (2,977) are inscribed in bronze parapets around the pools. The fully redeveloped WTC will include the Memorial and Museum, commercial office space, retail and connections to public transit. It’s scheduled to open in 2014.
