The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) today unveiled the design for the future Boston Logan International Airport 9/11 Memorial. The Airport 9/11 Memorial will honor the passengers and crew of American Flight 11 and United Flight 175, recognize the compassion and professionalism of Logan employees during that difficult time, and serve as a place of reflection for all those who were touched by the events of 9/11. The idea to create the Memorial began with the airport's employees, who were seeking a way to honor those lost and a place to reflect on the events of 9/11."Logan Airport and the lives of the people who work here were forever changed by the tragic events of 9/11,"said Massport CEO Thomas J. Kinton, Jr. "They feel the loss of their friends, colleagues and customers every day. The Airport 9/11 Memorial will provide a place for the airport community to honor those who we have lost but never forgotten, and remember how the airport community came together in the days following 9/11."
This is not the original winning scheme. Unfortunately the winning project selected by a 12 person jury of design professionls and family members was scuttled by politics.
