Memorial to Feb. 26. 1993, WTC Attack at Liberty & Washington

Wednesday, April 6th, 2005

February 26, 1993, WTC Memorial
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.
