It's been over a decade since the tragic day that the twin towers fell and every year those who lost their lives are remembered. With the new 9/11 memorial museum coming up at the end of the month, everyone will be able to honor the passing of loved ones and all of those who were part of the senseless loss that was September 11th, 2001.
All tickets for the opening of the museum have been sold out, however the memorial area is free with a visitors pass. Reserving a spot is quite affordable at only two dollars and it is recommended.
For those who can't make it out to the museum, whether it be for proximity or for other reasons, there are videos that will provide a pseudo-virtual experience for visitors to watch from home.
