100 Days Until 9/11 Memorial at WTC Opens in September
Today marks 100 days until the September opening of the 9/11 Memorial at the World Trade Center. The 9/11 Memorial will be dedicated on Sept. 11, 2011 in a special ceremony for victims' families. The memorial opens to the public on Sept. 12, 2011 with the reservation of a vistor pass. The 9/11 Memorial includes two massive pools set within the original footprints of the Twin Towers with 30-foot waterfalls cascading down their sides. The names of the 2,982 men, women and children killed in the attacks of New York, at the Pentagon and in Pennsylvania, and in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, are inscribed in bronze edging the waterfalls.By 9/11 Memorial Staff
