9-11 memorial has some names in error
BAYONNE, N.J. – A 100-foot-tall sculpture being unveiled on Monday’s fifth anniversary of 9/11 honors thousands of terrorist attack victims, and then some: Carved into the granite base are the names of more than 40 people who weren’t killed on Sept. 11 after all.
The majestic sculpture across the Hudson River from ground zero will feature 3,024 names of people once believed to have died in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the twin towers, the Pentagon and on United Flight 93 in Pennsylvania.
The problem is that the Russian artist who created the work used an outdated list of names of those missing at the trade center.
