National September 11 Memorial

National September 11 Memorial
Memperingati ribuan orang yang tewas pada tanggal 11 September 2001, tempat ini adalah tengaran yang suram dan mengharukan bagi warga setempat maupun wisatawan..

9/11 Memorial and Museum memperingati korban serangan 11 September dan menghadirkan suasana tenteram nan suram di wilayah Lower Manhattan yang ramai.

Setelah serangan teroris pada 11 September 2001, Ground Zero menjadi medan tempur emosional ketika korban selamat, keluarga korban jiwa, dan pemerintahan berusaha mencari cara terbaik untuk memperingati kehilangan nyawa di ruang World Trade Center. Sekarang menjadi tempat perenungan khidmat, Ground Zero juga dimaksudkan menjadi oase bagi pekerja kota, wisatawan, dan pengunjung setempat yang dapat menikmati hidup di plaza yang ditata indah.

Terdapat dua kolam di tempat Twin Towers dulu berdiri, masing-masing dengan air terjun yang diciptakan untuk melambangkan binasanya jiwa dan ruang fisik akibat serangan teroris. Di tepi setiap kolam terukir nama 2.977 korban yang meninggal. Memorial ini dan Memorial Plaza di sekitarnya, yaitu daerah seluas 24 kilometer persegi yang ditanami 400 pohon, dibuka pada ulang tahun ke-10 serangan itu. Di dekatnya terdapat Pohon Penyintas, pohon pir yang ditemukan gosong di bawah reruntuhan Twin Towers. Pohon itu mampu bertahan dan sekarang kembali berdiri tegak, simbol harapan yang subur.

Di dalam Memorial Plaza terdapat 9/11 Museum, pameran bawah tanah yang dibuka pada akhir 2011. Desain luarnya menyerupai bagian salah satu Twin Towers yang tergeletak dan museum itu berisi artefak yang dikumpulkan tak lama setelah serangan tersebut.

Lebih dari satu dasawarsa setelah serangan World Trade Center, daerah itu masih merupakan lokasi konstruksi. Salah satu dari tujuh bangunan yang direncanakan, One World Trade Center - atau Freedom Tower - pada ketinggian 541 meter, akan menjadi bangunan ketiga tertinggi di dunia ketika selesai pada tahun 2013.

9/11 Memorial and Museum terletak di Lower Manhattan dan dapat dicapai dengan bus atau kereta bawah tanah.

This is quite disorganised. You have to queue in one to exchange passes for tickets/purchase tickets. if you need to purchase tickets use the self service pods around the external building so you don't have to queue. Once you have your tickets you then have to join another queue to be admitted to the museum. Plan plenty of time we got there for 9am and didn't get in until 12pm. Once inside the museum is very moving with tributes to all those who lost their lives and quite emotional and unbelievable looking at the artifacts salvaged from the disaster. The audio guide is an extra charge once inside which you need to queue for.

A fabulous place that is peaceful and reflective, great to spend time just watching the world go by while remembering those that lost their lives, the memorial waterfall is simple but stunning.

We got to the memorial pools at 06:30am, incredibly moving and so peaceful with no one else around, very special being there just as the world was waking up. Too early for museum though which we did the next day.

Moving and inspiring memorial. Not at all overdone or mawkish. Leave 3-4 hours to see everything. Younger kids, say under 12, probably wouldn’t really engage with displays or understand what it’s about.
