Long Island Memorial at Farmingdale Will Showcase Each Minute of Tragedy

Saturday, January 8th, 2005

Newsday reports that Long Island’s 911 Memorial will be built by Patricia O’Neil whose husband worked at the WTC (and survived from the 60th floor). Visitors at the outdoor memorial - whose estimated $8-million cost is to be paid through donations - will travel through time, encountering 560 limestone pavers, symbolizing each minute in the tragic event, from the takeoff of the first plane at Logan International Airport in Boston to the collapse of 7 World Trade Center in Manhattan. A meditation circle, with a seating area, a memorial garden with a fountain at its center, and separate memorials for firefighters and police officers are also part of the design, which will be built on the east side of the campus. One of the memorial’s highlights is a reflecting pool, with each Long Island victim’s name, age and hometown engraved in limestone around the edge. In its center would sit a 12-foot piece of steel salvaged from Ground Zero and donated by the Widows and Victims’ Families Association.
