A tourist in New York. Memorial Plaza, memorial pools.
La
visita al monumento levantado a la memoria de los fallecidos en el
ataque del 11 S impresiona por su sencillez y por el enorme respeto que
tiene el pueblo americano sobre la memoria de ese fatídico día.
9/11 Memorial Plaza A tribute to the past and a place
of hope for the future — the 9/11 Memorial Plaza is alive with twin
spirits of remembrance & renewal. The 8-acre park is a supremely
contemplative sanctuary, composed of a grove of nearly 400 white oak
trees, and the largest manmade waterfalls in the United States. Set
within the footprints of the original Twin Towers, each pool is
approximately 1-acre in size. The names of every person who perished in
the terror attacks of February 26, 1993 & September 11, 2001 are
honored in bronze around the twin Memorial pools.
On March 30, 2009, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey
confirmed that the building would be officially known by its legal name
of "One World Trade Center", rather than its colloquial name of
"Freedom Tower". The building is 104 standard floors high, but the tower
has only 94 actual stories.
The
new World Trade Center complex will eventually include five high-rise
office buildings built along Greenwich Street, as well as the National
September 11 Memorial & Museum,
located just south of One World Trade Center where the original Twin
Towers stood. The construction of the new building is part of an effort
to memorialize and rebuild following the destruction of the original
World Trade Center complex.
