Pentagon Memorial unveiled to honour 9/11 victims

Washington It is the seventh anniversary of the world's worst terror attacks that left more than 3000 people dead on September 11, 2001

The Pentagon Memorial, the architectural tribute to the people who lost their lives in the attack, was unveiled on Thursday to honour the victims of the horrific terror attacks when hijackers crashed American airlines flight 77 into the pentagon.

Architect Keith Kaseman has placed all the names of the 184 souls who lost their lives in that incident in lines, marking their age.

Each of the 184 benches in the Pentagon Memorial is positioned facing a pool of water.

Sunlight and trees makes it look beautiful and it is being called ‘The Park.’

One of the benches commemorates the life of Max Beilke, who died inside the pentagon.

Decades ago, as a young man, Max Beilke was the last us combat soldier to leave Vietnam.

Visitors will discover details of the memorial as they explore.

To read a name on the bench of a pentagon victim, one must face the building and for someone on the plane, it has to be read facing the sky.

Seven years later this is one of the most guarded sites in the country.

It is estimated that some one to two million people will visit each year to pause, reflect and remember the horrors of September 11.
