The monument comprises a 100-foot-tall bronze tower with a jagged split down the middle and a 40-foot-long stainless steel teardrop suspended in the gap. It stands on an 11-sided slab of black marble carved with the names of every person who died in the September 11 attack World Trade Center, Pentagon and Pennsylvania as well as the victims of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The Statue of Liberty is in line with the monument but for our viewing the Statue of Liberty is in a distant view. The brightly lit memorial is visible even at night from the Statue of Liberty, Battery Park, the Staten Island Ferry, and other locations around the Hudson River.You can see the engraved pavers that surround the edge of the walkway as donations are made to the park and placed by loved ones and people that just want 911 to never be forgotten.
