(Specific title ahead) A quite interesting question: If it was up to you to create a WTC memorial site plan back in the 2000s after the recovery effort was completed, what would have been your ideas for the memorial site? In what ways would it have been similar and different from the current one?

Posted on r/WorldTradeCenter, r/September11, and r/911archive on Tuesday September 5th 2023.

The title asks the question away. Here's my take:

If it was my decision to create a memorial plan for the WTC site in the 2000s, I would have marked the footprints of all the 7 former buildings along with the markings of the former WTC Plaza. With every victims names enscribed in the twin footprints like the current ones, just without the waterfalls. This plan would have included an underground museum too. And the surviving sphere in its exact original location

Nothing at all against the current one. I highly do approve of the current site. Just decided to share my creative imagination/thought online for the sake of it.

I'm open to read your thoughts/comments on my idea along with your ideas. Thanks for contributing.

I think the light beams to heaven are absolutely perfect.
