The Twin Towers' salvaged facades, the visual symbols
of 9/11, will soon be chopped-up and displayed in an underground
museum. This is insulting. These shattered elements brought comfort
and inspiration to a despairing city, nation and world. We must
preserve history.
There is an alternative - the facades can surround
the Tower footprints as part of the World Trade Center Memorial
design known as Reflecting Absence. The Lower Manhattan Development
Corporation should require that the facades be incorporated into
the above-ground memorial.
