This is a beautiful and peaceful place. There is a reflecting pool under each bench and the sound of the water running is very calming. I remember it smelled like chlorine mixed with fresh air.
It looked so lovely at night!
Each bench represents one person who died in the building and on flight AA77.
There are 184 benches.
