9/11...A poem (we read)

  9/11


On all four sides of each void, waterfalls descend into a broad reflecting pool, irrisistably drawing your eyes, and your thoughts, ever downward.
Dark voids express a sense of loss and grief.
If there's one lesson it offers, it's that there's more than one way to soar. Saw in those walls a raw memento of that bitter day and a symbol of the strength of the city and nation. 

Envision them surrounded by a street-level plaza linked to the surrounding neighborhood. Exposed foundation pit of the towers, a 70-ft.-deep concrete "bathtub" scorched by the fires of the attack, might be kept open
   This article represents the 9/11 memorial because it is describing the things that happened at the world trade center and the pentagon. It also describes how everything looked and smelled when the airplanes hit and the towers collapsed. This tells of how the memorial went and how it was set up. 9/11 was the most devastating times in history; this article is telling how 9/11 devastated thousands of people. 

9/11 memorial; NEVER forget!!
