9/11 memorial

Twin Towers tribute

The 9/11 Memorial is the monument at the World Trade Center site in New York City honoring those killed in the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

The memorial features two reflecting pools set in the footprints of the original Twin Towers, with victims' names inscribed around the edges.

More broadly, any 9/11 memorial commemorates the attacks: The town unveiled its own 9/11 memorial.
