National September 11 Memorial
Hello, I'm going to talk to you about that terrible day of September 11, 2001 and then about the memorial which was built in memory of the many victims.
During the day of September 11, two planes were crashed into the symbolic Twins Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City making nearly 2500 victims.
A third plane was crashed into the Pentagon, the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense in Washington DC making 200 victims. And a fourth plane was initially steered toward Washington DC, but was crashed into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville in Pennsylvania making 40 victims.
It was the deadliest attacks in history with nearly 3000 dead and more than 6000 wounded.
The National September 11 Memorial was built to mourn and pay tribute to the thousands of people killed in the terrorist attacks of February 26, 1993 and September 11, 2001. In August 2006, the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation and the port authority of New York and New Jersey began the construction of a memorial and a museum.
The memorial was completed and open to the public on September 11, 2011, the 10th anniversary of the tragedy. The memorial consists of a park with two square pools located in the location of the destroyed towers.
Today, it is a very nice Memorial place to pray. For not forgotten all the victims and think about their families.
