9/11 Memorial Opens To The Public, Has To Turn Some Away
By: adminWednesday, September 14th, 2011 at 12:42 pm
On Sunday, the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the newly finished 9/11 memorial was unveiled to the families of the victims. The “soft-opening,” if you will, was seen as more intimate and private event.
On Monday, the memorial was opened to the public. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was on hand to welcome the first visitors.
“New Yorkers, Americans and people around the world now have a beautiful, dignified place to pay tribute to the memory of the 2,983 men, women and children we lost in the tragic attacks of 9/11,” he said.
As you would expect, a lot of people want to get a glimpse of the memorial. Over 7,000 came with tickets to visit the memorial. The tickets are free, but reservations are required to enter the new space.
People that showed up without tickets were turned away.
The demand to visit the site and pay respects is high. According to the WSJ, 400,000 people have signed up online to visit the memorial in the next few months.
