Not to forget what we’ve seen
By the sea of absence
Reflects the infinite tears
For the victims
Of a more United Nation
9/11/01
The head of the agency that owns the World Trade Center site says the Sept. 11 memorial will open on the 10th anniversary of the attacks -- and will remain open.
See photos of the World Trade Center before the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, and the pit known as Ground Zero in the aftermath.
But that doesn't mean the memorial will be completed by then.
Executive Director Chris Ward says the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey is still determining exactly how much public access will be allowed while the construction continues.
Two reflecting pools over the twin towers' footprints and the victims' names will be engraved by the 10th anniversary.
Construction on the memorial began in 2006.
Ward spoke at a state Assembly committee hearing on Thursday.
