Pools in the 9/11 Memorial
Two big pools are located in the 9/11 Memorial in Lower Manhattan, furthermore they were constructed after the terror attacks in 2001 at the place that the Twin Towers used to be.

The pools are enormous as well as the place is always crowded, some people just take photos and watch the impressive cascades, others pray, think and bring flowers to their familiars and friends who died in that unforgettable day for the World.

When I was there, I felt a special vibration, I am very empathetic so that I felt really sad also I could imagine all the suffering of the victims and their families.
On the other hand, the Memorial is a place that transmitted me peace and I could see a stunning rainbow in the cascades.

The National September 11 Memorial is a special place where people remembers with honor and respect the approximately 3,000 victims who died on September 11th, that were killed by the Islamic group Al-Qaeda.


In Mexico City there is a memorial, that is called Memorial of 68 in Tlatelolco, with a lot of photographs on the walls, the names of the young victims, in addition, people usually leave letters, flowers and gifts; however, the Memorial of 68 is a symbolic space where people can think about the event occurred on October 2nd, 1968. Many students that refused against the president and were fighting for their rights, unfortunately were killed by Mexican government.
