A memorial was planned shortly after the attacks for the victims and those involved in rescue and recovery operations. The winner of the World Trade Center Site Memorial Competition was Israeli-American architect Michael Arad. The memorial has swamp white oak trees with two square reflecting pools in the center marking where the Twin Towers stood. The reflecting pool of the memorial has the names of the victims who died during the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, United Airlines Flight 93, American Airlines Flight 11, American Airlines Flight 77, United Airlines Flight 175, collision of The Pentagon and the collapse of the World Trade Centers.
