The Sept. 11 memorial plaza opens to public on Sept. 12, a day after the 10th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

Planning for the 8-acre tribute started more than eight years ago. The names of those who lost their lives in the attacks are inscribed on massive, waterfall-graced reflecting pools ringed by hundreds of white oak trees. Next year, a museum is set to open.
