The memorial to the victims of the 1993 bombing was destroyed in the September 11, 2001, attacks, but designers of the 9/11 Memorial include the 1993 victims’ names in design plans. The six 1993 victims’ names join those of the 2,977 victims from 9/11 on the bronze panels that border the Memorial’s two reflecting pools. These names appear on a panel of the North pool due to the North Tower’s proximity to the location of the bomb blast.

Three years later, the only remaining fragment of the 1993 bombing memorial fountain recovered from Ground Zero will find a permanent home in the newly opened National September 11 Memorial Museum. The fragment includes the beginning of the name John DiGiovanni, one of the six people killed in the bombing.
