9/11 Memorial
Two pools now sit where the twin towers foundations were
Each pool displays a 30 foot man made waterfall
Both pools are bordered by bronze parapets that display the names of the victims of the 1993 and 2001 attacks, a total of 2,983 victims
How The WTC Came Together
An average of 2,500 workers a day helped with the reconstruction. 16 acres is the total area of the new buildings. More then 45,000 tons of structural steel was used in the rebuilding process. State of the art concrete was used in the construction of World Trade building number one that that can withstand three times the pressure as other concrete used in other skyscrapers
Interesting Facts
During the construction of the World Trade one to prevent delays of people traveling up and down the building for breaks and lunch, there was a mobile restroom and sandwich shop driven by hydrolics up each floor as work progressed. The total amount of water the two large pools in the footprints of the former World Trade Centers one and two is 450,000 in each pool. The two pools are open year round and are heated in the winter. 400 plus trees were planted on the site of the memorial in honor of the victims on board flight 93 and the attack on the pentagon
