Boston Logan International Airport has revealed a new memorial to honor the 147 passengers and crew who died during the September 11 terrorist attacks.
The $4 million memorial site is spread over 2.5 acres and features a glass structure which houses two 11-foot panels which list the names of those killed on United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines Flight 11 which took off from Boston Logan.
Thomas J Kinton Jr, Chief Executive of Massport, said: “As the airport operator, our intention was to build a public memorial at Logan Airport that acknowledges the tremendous loss for all who had loved ones on those flights, both the heroic flight crews and the passengers as well.
“We believe this memorial accomplishes that. This memorial tells the story of an event that took people we loved away from us – 147 of them – whose names are inscribed in the glass sculpture sitting on the highest point of the site.”
The memorial is located next to the Hilton Boston Logan and near to the walkway between Terminal A and the Central Garage. It will be open 24 hours a day all year round.
