I watched the wonderful "World Trade Center: Rising" series on Science Channel tonight (directed by Steven Spielberg and narrated by Ed Harris) and it was about the memorial site at Ground Zero - indeed there are two waterfall/pools (each one about an acre) built inside the footprint of each fallen tower; 400 trees were planted; and the walls around the pools are inscribed with the names of all who perished on that day (including the airplane passengers, the people at the Pentagon, the brave souls in Pennsylvania and those who didn't survive the 1993 WTC bombing) - the goal was to have it all ready by 9/11/2011 so the families could have a place to mourn and find closure and peace... it all looks wonderful. The office buildings are being built to honor the victims, too - it's all about new life where there was so much death, or as the memorial's creators say, it's about "Reflecting Absence"
Here is a shot of what it will probably look like in a few years...
