25 years after 9/11, what stands where the Twin Towers once stood?
Twenty-five years after 9/11, Ground Zero now holds a memorial, museum and glade instead of the Twin Towers. The attacks killed nearly 3,000 people. Today, visitors read those names around two huge reflecting pools built on the towers' footprints, and the design is called Reflecting Absence. It stands as a symbol of remembrance and resilience.
Key Statutory Highlights
- On September 11, 2001, terrorists crashed two hijacked planes into the World Trade Center, bringing down the twin 110-storey towers.
- The coordinated attacks also included a plane hitting the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and another crashing in rural Pennsylvania.
- The Ground Zero memorial, called Reflecting Absence, has two pools on the Twin Towers' footprints, with waterfalls falling into a central void.
