NOVA Short | Reflections on the 9/11 Memorial

After years of planning and construction, the 9/11 Memorial opened to the public on September 12, 2011. In this short video, visitors weigh in on the design and importance of the memorial. "It's very moving, it's graceful, and it's also dignified," says one visitor from Miami, Florida. "It's beautiful. The only other memorial that I can think of that comes close would be the Pyramids."
