TRIBUTE IN LIGHT

Visual storytelling by Lucas Compan

It has shined bright over Lower Manhattan every year on the solemn anniversary.

The memorial is made up of 88 searchlights positioned to represent the Twin Towers. Its actual location in on the roof of the Battery Parking Garage.

They have lit once again after sundown Sunday 9/11, and stayed up through the overnight hours until dawn next morning.

The Welcome Hub USA was there to live broadcast the event.
