Bus 2: Pentagon Memorial

From Ms. Matthews: This is out of order, but I asked Nilos if he wouldn't mind still sharing. Of course we missed other events and venues, but we did our best to convey with limited time and poor WiFi. Thanks to all of the students who contributed -- from all the teams! Thanks to Ms. Bayne for sharing lots of her amazing photographs of students for this blog. Thank you!

The Pentagon Memorial honors the casualties of the 9/11 hijacked plane that crashed into the Pentagon with a bench representing each person who died. The direction the benches face represent where they were when they died. The benches pointing to the Pentagon are for those who were in the Pentagon during the crash, and those pointing away are for those who were on the plane. All in all, 125 people represented by 125 steel one-legged benches ordered chronologically by birth date were honored in the Pentagon Memorial.
