The World Trade Center Memorial opened up this week to a somber reception of the families of victims of the 9/11 attacks. The memorial consists of two large waterfall/pools that will run 24/7/365. Even in the cold of winter the system will use heated water to keep the water flowing. Memorials have been built at the Pentagon and in the field in Pennsylvania where Flight 93 went down.
