Logan International Airport 9/11 Memorial (Boston, Massachusetts)

 memorial, interesting place
A green glass cube designed by Moskow Linn Architects sits at the highest spot on two beautifully landscaped acres of land at Logan International Airport in Boston. Inside, twin towers mark the time that American Airlines Flight 11, and United Airlines Flight 175, took off from Logan on Sept. 11, 2001. On each plate, etched on glass, are the 148 names of all who died aboard both flights. At night, the sculpture becomes an illuminated beacon.

The Logan Hilton Hotel donated a portion of the land to allow the Memorial to be constructed on the selected site and also redesigned the hotel's building frontage to complement the Memorial. It was unveiled and dedicated Sept 10, 2008.
