A decade after the World Trade Center Twin Towers were razed to the ground in the 9/11 terrorists attacks, an altered Ground Zero will be unveiled to the public, with waterfalls, reflecting pools and hundreds of trees at the site honouring the memory of the nearly 3,000 victims of the terror strike.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has asked citizens to refer to the new WTC site as the 9/11 Memorial and not as Ground Zero any more. The 9/11 Memorial is located at the site of the former World Trade Center complex in lower Manhattan and occupies approximately half of the 16-acre area. US President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will dedicate the memorial in a ceremony on Sunday and it will open to the public on September 12.

We will never forget the devastation of the area that came to be known as Ground Zero. Never. But the time has come to call those 16 acres what they are: The World Trade Center and the National September 11th Memorial and Museum,� Bloomberg said. A 104-storey 1 WTC, 40-storey 4 WTC and 7 WTC have been constructed at the site.
