The area where hijacked plane crashed on September 11, 2001 at 10:03 has been recognized as a place of national remembrance. A monument is erected here in memory of the 40 passengers and crew members. The most engaging is a wall set in the direction of a flight. There are names of all the victims engraved in white marble. The exact site of the crash is clearly visible but not accessible to the public. The access to that part of the monument is allowed only the victims' families.
