911 Memorial

Memorial pools - about 75% of the size of the original buildings, around the sides of the pools are the names of every person that lost their lives because of the 911 attacks, including those on planes that crash into the Pentagon, the field in Pennsylvania, the twin towers and all the FDNY, NYPD and helpers. Very emotional place to say the least.

Each pool drops 6 floors into the ground to represent the distance into the ground each tower fell, for memory the waterfalls are the biggest man made ones in the world :)

This sculpture was in the park between the 2 towers before they fell, it used to be a perfect ball but got totally smashed in the wreckage, has an eternal flame next to it and will be moved to the 911 memorial when the new WTC opens.

This is the woman that originally refused to go on the Harbour cruise as it would eat into shopping time....... After much persuasion and demand, I won and we had a ball. Enough said. SKE
