Boston’s 9/11 Memorial is in the Boston Public Garden and commemorates 93 state residents — most on the two hijacked planes out of Boston — who died. In total 177 families lost family on the day. It was dedicated in 2004 in a ceremony attended by John Kerry during his Presidential Campaign. It is located near the Arlington Street Entrance.
The Massachusetts Port Authority (MASSPORT) had a contest in 2003 for a 1.6 acre for a 9/11 memorial at the entrance to Boston Logan Airport’s Terminal Area and is located adjacent to the Hilton Hotel and the West Garage. The memorial site was selected because of its visibility, pedestrian accessibility, and proximity to the Hilton Hotel, the center of Care Team operations (Care Teams from the Authority and the airlines administered to the friends and families of the 9/11 passengers).

A memorial to the February 26, 1993, victims of the WTC attack was dedicated on its anniversary in 2005. The memorial designed by Port Authority architect Jacqueline Hanley contains the only piece of the original memorial. It is located at Liberty and Washington by the entrance to the bridge over West Street which is the private family viewing area. It is located behind closed gates and obscured. When I asked guards at the WTC in April about it, they said they were unaware of it. It is also very near Ladder 10 which was the firehouse across the street from the WTC.
