9/11 is also an anchor point for ordinary people's memories.
Every year on this day,Apart from its profound significance, ππΈ For me, it is also a monument of memories. πΏπ11 years ago,I first saw Tribute in Light from New Jersey across the river. It is set up at the former site of the Twin Towers,Consisting of 88 powerful searchlights,Arranged in two groups to form two square beams of light,Shining vertically into the night sky,Symbolizing the collapsed World Trade Center Twin Towers. ππΈ Two years ago,I went back to New York to visit my family,And I went to see the 9/11 Memorial and Oculus station,Which were not yet completed when I left. The 9/11 Memorial covers about half of the entire site,With two reflecting pools at the center,Located on the former sites of the North and South Towers. πΏπ The names of all the victims are engraved around the pools,And the water seems to fall into an endless abyss. ππΈI still remember,Under the warm spring sun in late March,The solemn chill I felt standing in front of the memorial. Oculus Pigeon Station,With its white steel structure resembling two wings,Is said to have its roof light design aligned with the timeline of the plane crashes and tower collapses (8:46 a.m. to 10:28 a.m.). During this time,Sunlight shines through the skylights into the interior,Making light a symbol of time and remembrance. πΏπ I think I will still remember those two beams of light on September 11 in the future,Remember the inner touch under the sunlight that day,And the time I spent with this city,For many, many years. #RandomNotes #TheTraceOfTime #911Event π
