I always thought this Memorial was so beautiful and fitting, but to now listen to the words of the man behind it all, it only makes the concept even more remarkable. He is a true architect, whose vision and attention to detail could not have been utilized for a greater cause. I was never aware of the strategic placement of each victim's name before, but all I can say is...wow. His awe-inspiring vision is an instrumental contributor to us never forgetting.
You have created a beautiful memorial. The names, the water, and the trees are so powerful. Thanks for sharing, I will go there one day to pay my respects.
Impressive Memorial and Tribute -- I visited New York in 2018. I toured the grounds and spent my birthday there at 9/11. Peace on earth and love to all.
9/11/2001 I can’t believe it’s been twenty years. Never forget what happened on this day. I’m a immigrant and i am proud to call myself American. 9/11 you cannot forget what happened to our country.
I pay all my respect to the people who sacrificed their lives to save the lives of others, the innocent victims, the rescue dogs, pilots, staff, doctors, and just anyone who was harmed on that day.
Rest in peace sent from South Korea. Sincerely I will pray for all of people murdered by terrorists, who made this terror happen 20 years ago. BTW, design of this architecture looks great. In north-eastern asia culture, continually flowing water symbolizes the state of purifying holy soul. 힘 내 세 요.
I remember seeing the new tower in 2015, and it was marvelous. Then I saw where the original towers were and I felt something heavy inside me, knowing people died in the spot where I was standing. May they Rest In Peace
absolutely beautiful memorial. the symbolism of the loss through the deep pools, the infinity of water, and the name connections on the plaques all brought a tear to my eye. i've never gotten the chance to visit new york city (i was supposed to go during spring break of 2020 but you'll never guess what happened....) but when i eventually get to go this is going to be one of my top priorities to visit. may everyone who was lost in this tragedy rest peacefully
They turned the site into a really peaceful place. Water is also living, it represents the way life continues despite the wounds, which when carved into the ground this way really... really do remind you of what we lost that day. I think that was the right thing to do.
The waterfalls could also symbolise tears of loss. The footprints of the WTC are a sacred space, a final resting place, that no-one can build over or make a commercial enterprise.
It’s a truly beautiful place. May they all rest in peace and never be forgotten. 💓💓💓🙏🙏🙏. Are the two pools actually in the foundations of the two towers ?
honestly I see falling water and I think of falling People both in the towers and those forced to fall my country of Canada lost 24 people and my head is bowed even 20 years later and respect for the victims of the horror that I saw that day
May all Americans remember one day this was the day the country was as united as it could be this generation. We have fell completely apart in the last 20 years thanks to media, politics, social media and billionaires who want goals accomplished. We can come back together I just hope it doesn't take another event like this for it to happen.
Rest in peace for all the victims who have died in 11 September attacks. May the survivors and the families of the victims of this tragedy be strengthened. This was not a conspiracy, this tragedy was not made by George W. Bush and the American government, this was obviously a terrorist attack. A heartbreaking and sad tragedy for America but a new hope for America. We will never forget this. Stay strong!
9-11 A fire ripped open the sky, scorching the hearts of the world. Stunned in silence we watched, not believing, unable to grasp what lay in the ruins. Something great was lost, indefinable, ineffable, far beyond the destruction and death, ...an ideal. A page turned, a chapter ended, the new one too painful for the story; marching forward we took backwards steps, trying to force redemption while sifting for closure in dust that could never settle. There was nothing that could begin to replace what was taken right before our eyes, and in the moment we blinked, the last remains of our innocence was stolen away.
I can't believe it has been 20 years now 20th anniversary I was only 2 years old.. God bless those innocent brave 2,996 beautiful heart's and soul's.God bless those people on the flights✈️ and at work at The World trade center and are police officers👮♂️🚓 and are firefighters🚒👨🚒.not every superhero wears a cape Those are the real heroes on that day and always will be ✊🏻🇺🇸We will never forget this day. What a sad tragedy it was What a disgusting nightmare.🥀💔😔😢🌹💐 I still don't think America will never recovered from that day darkest hour in America history.
After the nuclear meltdown in Japan after the earthquake- they have to pour concrete on the site to encapsulate-and cool down the site with water to contain the radiation and heat- just saying-
I hope the new architects made sure this new building not as impervious to fire like the last threeworld trade center buildings. This way the next insurance scam of sending planes into buildings and then claiming the fire weakened the structures orchestrated by us government is much easier to acheive. These three demolished buildings deserves to be in the Guinness book of record for being the only 3 high rised buildings globally destroyed by fire and collapse nicely onto their terrestrial foot prints.
How did 80ish floors from both Towers collapse on themselves without any fire because if there was a plane didn't the jet fuel explode on impact? And if you give me the pancake Theory that couldn't possibly work unless the towers were built on Jupiter with gravity hundreds of times stronger than Earth!
I still see these posts on Facebook of the 9/11 twin towers,I remember that morning up to the news,Just as I was getting my self ready for collage,I switched the TV on like I normal do then,I watching these airplanes crashing in to the twin towers,I thought some sort of random crash at the start,Then could not work out why there where more airplanes crashing in to them,I was thinking wtf is going on here,Till I knew it was done on purpose as terrist attack,I thought OMG

I like that names are disposed by the closeness people had to each other
The guy made the design 20 years ago and he still looks so young 😳 He must’ve been super young when this tragedy happened.
Excellent job Mike, the ancient Greeks tip their head to you especially the Spartans.....

This was such a beautiful memorial and it is incredibly respectful and dignified.
never forget
Great interview, fantastic questions
Me and my family went to a trip to NY. and we went to the memorial... its really a surreal experience standing there, where it all happened

in three minutes eastern time it will be 9/11 i wished the attack never happened such a sad day
Rest In Peace🙏
RIP to all the victims who sadly passed away. We will never forget. Much love from the Uk

I'm curious. How do they prevent drunk or homeless people from climbing over the ledge and falling into the water?
I wondered that too, I just visited the memorial today and I could have easily jumped in. It's about a 25 foot drop, but one could easily jump in.
You'll never be forgotten 🌹🇺🇸
Rest In Peace 🎗️
Beautifully done Mike.
However ,there will be no monuments after a nuclear war......
May all Americans remember one day this was the day the country was as united as it could be this generation.

We look through the windshield to see where we'll be. Then the rear view mirror to be what we see. It is all here and now. Let the spirit be free ~
Its a beautiful memorial... May we never forget...
All respect to the architects. Great job. Looking forward to visit this place. RIP to all that have gone to a better place on this day.
I am very sad.
9-11
A fire ripped
open the sky,
scorching
the hearts
of the world.
Stunned
in silence
we watched,
not believing,
unable to
grasp
what lay
in the ruins.
Something great
was lost,
indefinable,
ineffable,
far beyond
the destruction
and death,
...an ideal.
A page turned,
a chapter ended,
the new one
too painful
for the story;
marching
forward we took
backwards steps,
trying to force
redemption
while sifting for
closure
in dust that
could never settle.
There was
nothing
that could begin
to replace
what was taken
right before
our eyes,
and in the
moment
we blinked,
the last
remains of our
innocence
was stolen away.

The trees surrounding the footprints of the towers are the true size of the twin towers
Por culpa de George w bush ya no están las torres gemelas
What about building 7 though?
Insane fools in the comment section
Is it really an attack if they let it happen?
I hope the new architects made sure this new building not as impervious to fire like the last threeworld trade center buildings.

HOW COME JET FUEL ISNT USED FOR THE DEMOLITION OF OLD BUILDINGS? !!
How did 80ish floors from both Towers collapse on themselves without any fire because if there was a plane didn't the jet fuel explode on impact? And if you give me the pancake Theory that couldn't possibly work unless the towers were built on Jupiter with gravity hundreds of times stronger than Earth!
The designer of this memorial is a dual citizen
