The reflection pool is such an important stop to make when visiting New York. This reflection pool stands as a memorial for the September 11th attack on the nation. On September 11, 2001 the World Trade center was struck by a plane that had been hijacked by terrorist. The names of the people that were killed during this attack are engraved in the structure around the reflection pool. This pool is lined in black granite to show that death occurred at this exact spot. Water cascades down the four walls of the pool, and disappears into a square hole in the center of the pool. It is free to visit and walk around the memorial, so I would highly recommend stopping by to pay respect to the people who did not make it home to their families that day. It is a very special spot in New York and gives people the opportunity to learn about tragic that happened in the United States.
