Memorials salute survival and resilience
LARA MARLOWE in New York
TEN YEARS later, visiting the World Trade Center construction site is like receiving a jolt of high-voltage current.
In the streets surrounding the security enclosure, people and vehicles seem to converge from every direction. The noise of traffic, drills, hammers, diggers and clanging steel meld in an indescribable din. The earth rumbles each time a train passes beneath.
This is Manhattan at maximum sensory overload, deafening and smelling of hot dogs, pizza, mustard, sweat, dust, exhaust, singed rubber and soldered steel. Were it not for the solemnity of Michael Arad’s monument to the 2,983 victims of 9/11 and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and the Tribute Center created by the families in a former deli outside the perimeter, you could almost forget the human cost of that day.
For two different stories co-exist here; one of heroism and loss, the other of renewal. Survival and resilience are the watchwords of the 9/11 commemorations, the essence of America’s self image. The “survivor tree” has been replanted in the memorial plaza, after recovering in a botanical garden, a lone pear among a young forest of white swamp oaks. The “survivor stairs”, by which thousands of employees escaped from the north tower, are part of the unfinished National Memorial Museum.
“Three thousand of our loved ones and family members were taken from us,” says Bill Baroni, a dual citizen of Ireland and the US and deputy director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which has overall responsibility for the World Trade Center site.
“Yet we will remember those we lost with this stunning memorial. We will rebuild even higher. One World Trade Center is higher than the Twin Towers were. That’s the message. You can attack us. We will remember with deep passion and sadness those we lost, but we will also rebuild, and we will be resilient. We’re a tough lot.
