Center rising in the back
The under-construction One World
Trade Center can be seen standing over the National September 11th
Memorial and Museum in lower Manhattan ahead of the 10th anniversary of
the 9/11 terror attacks next month.
The 9/11 memorial features two
reflecting pools on the footprints of the twin towers and it is
scheduled to be dedicated on September 11 this year.
Each pool has 30ft waterfalls on
every side and the names of all 2,983 victims in the 9/11 and 1993
attacks are inscribed in bronze.

Its designer Michael Arad wants the
memorial, surrounded by 400 oak trees, to be somewhere for New Yorkers
to come together - and described the area as a ‘scar’.
‘This is a scar, and it's a scar
that is healing,’ Mr Arad told the New York Daily News. ‘It's not a scar
we're going to hide. It's just part of day-to-day life in the city.’

Present day: The Statue of Liberty stands before lower Manhattan
just before sunset in New York on August 24, just over two weeks ahead

It’s hoped the memorial will finally
bring some peace to the families of 9/11 victims, who will be able to
visit from the 10th anniversary next month.
‘My Michael is home finally,’ Monica
Iken Murphy, 41, told the New York Daily News, of her dead husband
Michael Murphy. ‘They're all home.’
The memorial will then be open to
the public on September 12, but visitors need to make reservations in
advance because of the construction work.
The museum is set to open on the 9/11 anniversary next year.
The foundation of World Trade Center 2 and 3 has been completed and the buildings are now at around street level.
One World Trade Center is at 80 floors and 4 World Trade Center is up to 48 of 72 floors, reported the New York Daily News.
