There
were
19
terrorists
in
total,
some
of
whom
had
lived
in
the
united
states
and
trained
at
american
flight
schools.
They
smuggled
in
knives
and
box
cutters.
Security
was
much
more
relaxed
than
so.
They
were
able
to
successfully
board
the
flights
all
bound
for
california
and
with
plenty
of
fuel
for
the
cross-country
trips.
A
Nearly
3
000
died
as
a
direct
result
of
the
9
11
attacks,
including
343
firefighters
and
72
law
enforcement
officers.
In
addition
to
25
000,
more
people
who
sustained
injuries
and
an
untold
number
of
who
suffered
long-term
health
consequences,
infrastructure
and
property
damages
were
estimated
to
exceed
10
billion.

The
memorial
was
the
vision
of
jim
smith,
a
volunteer
firefighter
smith
and
21
citizens
formed
the
absence
911
memorial
founders
committee
and
enlisted
the
services
of
an
architect
named
william
harrislack
fellow
firefighter
ed
vincent
as
the
construction
manager
and
lamont
czar.
As
the
engineer,
the
committee
dedicated
three
years
of
their
time
to
design
a
fitting
tribute,
find
a
suitable
site
and
make
their
dream
a
reality.
The
committee
broke
ground
on
the
memorial
on
august,
1st
2015
and
it
cost
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
which
was
obtained
through
generous
donations
of
friends,
neighbors
and
community
partners.
A

What
a
community
effort
this
was
one
of
the
requirements
of
the
port
authority
in
releasing
the
steel
beam
to
the
men
was
that
it
be
illuminated
every
night,
and
so
it
is
thanks
to
all
those
involved.
In
the
absence
of
9
11
memorial,
your
efforts
to
honor
these
heroes
and
provide
their
lasting
tribute
are
profoundly
recognized
and
appreciated
the
lives
lost
that
day
will
never
be
forgotten.
A
On
a
personal
level.
I
would
like
you
all
to
remember
and
never
forget
the
sacrifices
that
were
made
by
the
first
responders,
while
the
rest
of
humanity
was
running
in
one
direction
to
save
themselves.
These
individuals
were
running
into
danger,
and
most
of
them
did
not
come
back
during
this
memorial
service.
Let
us
all
remember
and
never
forget
the
sacrifices
others
make
for
us.
