Its amazing and beautiful the architectural space The Gardens and the people from all over the world who are coming to see Freedom Tower 9/11 . But whats disturbing is that in one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world that a crime of these proportions could be committed against its people and the real culprits and perpetrators remain free. The entire military industrial complex and Madison Avenue have conspired together with those who control the media to limit access of the real story and the real facts. The official narrative is a lie and we as a people have spent our blood and treasure to seek Justice and Vengeance for the death of 3000 innocent people. And if you speak out about this its more dangerous than criticizing the National Rifle Association or Israels Lobby in the United States. If you publicly do speak out you can forget about that job you used to do or wanted to do or that help you wanted to get. So there is no honest discussion of the facts theres no representation of an alternate reality in the museum here. I think its atrocious outrageous scandalous and demonstrates a lack of Valor on the part of millions of people who are going along with this. Im not going to be one of them and Im willing to pay the consequences. I spoke to somebody here about the facts which are irrefutable. I know he would have loved to punch me or to silence me in some way. He said I was desecrating the memory of all the people who died here. I wonder how many people think like I do but keep their mouth shut .How many of the visitors are thinking what I think and they see nothing that reflects that opinion. Thats the nature of groupthink and mass brainwashing. We say Muslims are brainwashed by their religion but what about us? Were just fine. We love our country and we wave our flag and we believe in who what Jesus Christ? 70% of the soldiers interviewed in Iraq said they were there to take Saddam out and for Retribution and Vengeance for 911. Thats the result of a disinformation campaign that was very successful. Personally Im embarrassed and ashamed that millions of Americans are not taking the opportunity to educate themselves to the facts that are scientific and fully admissible in a court of law. Im not asking for peoples opinions or beliefs I am saying lets examine the facts is that such a radical proposition.? Im saying the same thing that Galileo said and he was forced to go to jail he simply observed something that was a scientific fact. How did 10 tons of weapons-grade thermite get into the buildings painted on the steel girders and bring those buildings down. How did Building 7 come down when they were only internal fires with office debris. How come Fire Department officials said there was molten Steel in the basement and explosions. Whats wrong with everyone when they cant answer a question or are afraid to ask it.? Id like to know who is going to edit and delete this post because I dont think theyre going to be willing to even hear the questions that Im not afraid to ask or ashamed. I honor the Dead with my questions.

What a devastinly beautiful, insightful and emotional journey. Need at least 3-4 days to appreciate all this museum has to offer. No news coverage, tv show or second hand recall can truly express all the horror and emotional turmoil these people experienced.But the exhibits and first account recollections of that day expresses in a way that every American, or human for that matter, can actually understand what was lost those days in 1993 and 2001. We may have lost almost 3000 wonderful people and impacted too many lives to count we have to applaud all the police officers, firefighters, EMTs and ordinary people whose heroic efforts saved thousands of lives, and some losing their own in the effort and proved what caring and loving people can accomplish if we work together and remember that ALL LIVES MATTER ! This museum is the most inspirational and heartfelt that I have ever been to. What a wonderful way to honor true American heros. Also help people understand what really happened these awful days in 1993 and 2001. Our resolve has proved that for the undeserved loss of irreplaceable human lives, we can pick ourselves up and move forward with heavy, broken hearts and determination to NEVER FORGET My heart and prayers are always with everyone who has been affected by these tragedies. May God Bless All of You. Cant wait to go back.

If you got to New York, I think this is the most important thing you see. It is so emotionally grabbing. You still have posters in NY advertising helplines for people who witnessed the event and might have PTSD. I dont think the NY I see today is the same as what it was before 9/11. I have a feeling that the trauma of it changed everybody in someway and though it feels like such a wonderful place, I felt like NY still carries the scar of it some form or way (maybe thats just me). Anyways, seeing the people who passed on and the wreckage of the metal and firetrucks brought out a lot of emotion in me. Made me really think about what people went through that day, a city which is the centre of finance, culture and energy and suddenly an act of violence inflicts itself and really makes you think if you can ever be safe. But there is such beauty in the acts of heroism...anyways, this place just makes you question your purpose in life. Despite the wonderful museums and skyscrapers in NY, I rate this as the most important place to visit during your time in NY (of course all the other stuff in NY is incredible too!). Just wanna say, a lot of effort went into this place and I want to commend them on their dedicated effort in honoring those we lost.

What an incredible experience. And very respectfully done in my opinion. My father-in-law booked our tickets just a couple days in advance and had no trouble finding a tour time that worked for us. However, I guess he didnt notice the fine print - you must arrive at the tour desk (inside and downstairs from the entrance) 30 minutes prior to your scheduled time. Thank goodness there was availability for a later tour and everything worked out. For the tour, you are given a headset attached to a small device resembling an old school iPod. The tour guide speaks into a microphone so that you can hear him through the headphones no matter what part of the room/if youre in the back of your group. We had a gentleman spoke very clearly and who answered any of our questions. We learned things about 9/11 that we didnt know before and that I dont think are discussed very often. What we saw was interesting, but while family agreed that having the tour guide is what really made the experience. The museum isnt really all that big. So learning everything behind each room and each display was very interesting. There are restrooms where the tour ends and begins. I would definitely recommend going beforehand so you dont miss anything.

Everyone told me to go here when I was in DC next... I really didnt want to because it sounded depressing but I am glad I did. It is a magnificent tribute. The two waterflow areas that mark the location of each original tower are ideal for memorializing the lives lost in each one. A lot of thought clearly went into this. I knew someone whose sister died in one of the towers, and I vividly recall visiting my sister-in-law in the mammoth escalator/food area (between the towers?) when she still worked for Merrill Lynch (she was a stay-at-home mom by 2001). The exhibits are all fascinating and its always astonishing how far you can go below street level in NYC--same with this place. I was especially taken with the size of the segment of the enormous antenna on just the one tower. It was only one segment, maybe 10 feet long, but it was huge. If you know anyone who died in this tragedy, you can search their name in one of computerized screens inset in one of the tables of the Memorial section. Then their memorial will play. Most of the victims families have submitted photos, short biographies and sometimes narrations of their loved ones for these memorials.
