Slightly different from the rest of the trees in the plaza is the Survivor Tree. This callery pear tree was found in the rubble of Ground Zero and miraculously brought back to life.
It symbolizes the resilience and strength of the city and reminds us that we can survive even the most difficult of times. As a further symbol of love and peace, each year the seeds of the tree are donated to three communities that have endured tragedy in recent years.
Just outside the memorial plaza you will see a giant sculpture of a sphere, with a large chunk missing from its top. Seeing the damaged sculpture brings back the vivid images of the aftermath of the attacks. This number was chosen specifically to celebrate the birth year of the United States of America. The top of the building also houses the One World Observatory , with a breathtaking view of Lower Manhattan.
Just a block away, across from the memorial, is the Oculus , a shopping mall and transportation hub inside of one of the most unique buildings in the city. The most recent addition to the memorial honors first responders who later got sick or died from inhaling toxins that were present at the World Trade Center site.
Along the memorial glade pathway are six large stones jutting outward from the ground, each one containing several pieces of debris from the original World Trade Center. The path follows the location of a temporary ramp that was used by some of these first responders during the cleanup effort.
The National September 11 Museum has , square feet of exhibition space. From outside, the pavilion has a deconstructivism design. What is that exactly? In this case, that means it mirrors the collapsed Twin Towers by resembling a partially collapsed building.
Inside the museum are a number of remnants from the original World Trade Center, including two tridents from the towers. These tridents are from the base of the North Tower — the only two that remained from the dozens that flanked the perimeter of the building. Thankfully, the wall remained intact through the attacks. Rescue and recovery workers covered the column with inscriptions and mementos as they worked to clear the site. It was eventually removed from Ground Zero in May , officially marking the end of the recovery period.
Visitors will notice that the descent into the main exhibition is done via a ramp. Overall, the experience is really what you make of it. Visiting the memorial brings you back to that moment while allowing you to reflect. The symbols throughout will take you on a journey, both emotional and narrative. And your guide is there to help along the way.
