Empty Sky, September 11 memorial in Jersey City, United States
The memorial features two parallel walls stretching 208 feet long, matching the width of the World Trade Center towers, with etched names in steel letters.
The memorial honors 746 New Jersey residents who lost their lives during the attacks at the World Trade Center, Pentagon, and Shanksville in 2001.
The memorial takes its name from a Bruce Springsteen song that reflects upon the changed Manhattan skyline following the September 11 events.
Visitors can reach the memorial by taking a 15-minute ferry ride from Manhattan to Liberty Landing Marina in Liberty State Park.
The walls create a passage directed toward Ground Zero, allowing visitors to view the exact location where the Twin Towers once stood.
