9/11 memorial monument in New York
9/11 really needs no introduction. I think everyone has heard of this terrible attack that killed 2983 people. All their names are engraved in bronze, surrounding the two huge water tanks that stand in exactly the same spot as the Twin Towers and form the heart of the 9/11 memorial.
Both the Twin Towers and many other World Trade Center buildings collapsed from the attacks or were later demolished due to the massive damage. Most trees in the Ground Zero area also did not survive the attacks, but one tree found badly damaged by rescue workers survived after proper and extensive care. And this tree that was named “Survival Tree” now stands at the 9/11 memorial among lots of other trees. The Survival Tree is a living reminder of the events at Ground Zero. It represents resilience and survival. The tree can be found next to the South Tower Pool
