1. 9/11 Memorial Museum
On September 11, 2001, 19 militants associated with the Islamic
extremist group al-Qaida hijacked four airplanes and carried out suicide
attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were
flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a
third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the
fourth plane crashed in a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Almost
3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which triggered
major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defined the presidency of
George W. Bush.
As part of a dedication period offering tribute to the nearly 3,000 souls
who left us on September 11, 2001, the 9/11 Memorial Museum opened
its doors to the public. It was created to show respect to that 3000
beautiful souls we lost. The terror attack was deadly, ruthless and a
punishable work is done. The memorial is made in the memory of those
beautiful souls and its worth visiting.
Here are some facts about the museum worth knowing:
2. ● Encompassing 110,000 square feet of space, the 9/11 Memorial
Museum—which honors the victims of terrorist attacks on both
September 11, 2001, and February 26, 1993— cost $700 million to
build. The funds were through private and public donations.
● Both the 9/11 Memorial and Museum occupy about eight acres of
the original World Trade Center site.
● Big numbers: Expect to see 23,000 images, 10,300 artifacts, 500
hours of moving images and 1,970 oral histories.
● Tissues and exit doors are strategically placed for visitors who
may become overwrought with emotion.
● To get into the museum, visitors must walk through a steel and
glass pavilion that includes two massive steel tridents, which had
been part of the Twin Towers.
● To get to the main exhibition space, visitors descend to bedrock
alongside the Vesey Street Stair remnant known as the "Survivors’
Stairs," where hundreds escaped death on 9/11.
● The museum is separated into three core sections: the historical,
memorial, and foundation hall exhibitions. The historical
delineates the events that led up to September 11th; the memorial
puts a human face to the thousands of people who died in the
September 11, 2001, and February 26, 1993, terrorist attacks; the
foundation hall offers reflection, hope, and the spirit of
determination through its slurry wall, a massive retaining wall from
the original World Trade Center that withstood the 9/11
destruction.
3. ● The museum includes an Education Center to inform student and
teacher groups, as well as to hold seminars.
