September 11 Memorials
Nearly every town in the USA has a monument or memorial to those who died in the September 11 terrorist attacks. Large and small, each expresses a unique creative vision.

Designing the National 9-11 Memorial
Years of planning went into the spectacular memorial known as Reflecting Absence. Find out how the memorial at Ground Zero was created.

September 11 Memorial in Monument Park
Many designers choose to honor the dead with realistic statues instead of abstract symbols. The September 11 Memorial in Monument Park at Yankee Stadium is a plaque dedicated to the victims and rescue workers of the September 11, 2001.

Airport 9/11 Memorial, Boston
Both terrorist planes that struck New York's World Trade Center took off from Boston Logan Airport. To honor those who died, a new memorial will be constructed on a 2-acre lot at Logan Airport.

Twin Piers
Architecture writer Fred Bernstein proposed constructing two piers that would extend into New York Harbor the exact length of the destroyed Twin Towers: 1368 feet for Tower One and 1362 feet for Tower Two. The Twin Piers project was never realized, but the drawings and plans remain as a moving tribute.
