The 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City honors the 2,983 lives that were taken during September 11, 2001, and February 26, 1993, terrorist attacks. 2,977 lives were taken during the 2001 September 11 Attacks and six lives were taken during the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing.
Each of the names is inscribed in bronze on the 9/11 Memorial. The memorial is located at the World Trade Center site which is where the Twin Towers formerly stood. In place of the buildings lie two square reflecting pools surrounded by a forest of swamp white oak trees. The area covers eight of 16 acres which is a sanctuary of hope, resilience, and unity.
Each of the 2,983 names inscribed on the 9/11 Memorial are arranged not by alphabetical order, but by meaningful adjacencies. Learn more about visiting, finding a name and the design at https://t.co/43QxnzuTXW #911Memorial pic.twitter.com/0ZlmlYUYSX
