the nine eleven memorial has attracted a lot of attention however some of the
family members of the victims of nine eleven are complaining that the people
that visit the memorial are not being respectful
they're treating it like disneyland
now this is something that i found really fascinating because i was
recently in new york anti notice that people were just kind of treating it as
like dat tourist attraction
you know when in reality it's a place where people are still going to warn
something that happens
you know not too long ago
uh... so one person said that you know they treat it like i'd disneyland
base built coffee all over my son's name uh... after she rose from sitting on the
names
uh... so people are upset about this and i can completely understand why
but at the same time
should people always be somber when they're going to the memorial to pay
tribute to the victims
well we've got out of the new yorker observer cover this we've got a quote
from them actually uh... they say
thousands of bodies may be entered on these that sixteen acres but just as
children frog on national mall
the vietnam and create a war memorials and no worse off for a the same goes for
the nine eleven memorial
i will disagree with that to some extent because the difference between those
memorials and this memorial
is that the the first for instance the vietnam war memorial
is in d_c_
the it's not enough
there's not often that the memorials on the actual spot where the violence was
done and that to me does make a difference now
i've been to the nine eleven memorial that was fairly early on site might be
more developed in bigger at the time is very small
but when i went there
i'd was quiet and to some extent reverential i think that that's the
purpose of it
now they're saying that it's going to continue to expand it at some point
it's going to be a large parking in new york you don't have a lot of open spaces
so we have to expect the people going to be a little bit wilder than you might
want
i don't like
treating it as disneyland as the way that they characterize it i think that
it should be for reflection on what happened and what we've done as a result
of what happened
angry with you i think it's important to be considerate of others because
you have to keep in mind there are people
act that site
act that memorials still mourning the death of their loved ones and
i did not have to go through that on that day you know i didn't lose any
family members or friends but if i were there
mourning the loss of a family member or friend and there were people there
spilling coffee on
you know people's names
last being taking pictures as if it's some sort of tourist attraction i would
be limit i would be really upset and i think it would make it even more
difficult go ahead and i also got to go see the nine eleven memorial when i
visited new york and boston and the joint trip
when you're walking up their you you start feeling it you know in in your
heart you start feeling mike
this is where it happened so the fact that people are treating it like you
said disneyland a few times
is ridiculous and when i was there arsov people aniket it honestly disgusted me
when i was seeing people like
like taking pictures of my cat laughing around and mike you know what you can
take pictures of this site and i think that's okay
to an extent but if you wanna like
smail one might do all this stuff unlike pose in front of the memorial i'm not
for that
all hazardous showing disrespect to the people
who happen to lose their lives on that day i'd get some like it when i went
there like i said it was early on so that wasn't happening i i think that
people who
grew up in new yorker near new york see it a little bit differently than
somebody who's just visiting in his is wrapped up in michael my god new york
like i droped an hour train ride it right away from your pc all the time
and at one of the things that maybe i'm just
it's silly of me but growing up in connecticut nearby we always think if
there's some sort of massive attack
sumeet blew up on nuclear power new york something like that we're close to it
like we would not only
feel that the motion a label we might be affected by physically and so i think
that the dangers more real when you're from that area and i i
i don't know for sure but i imagine that a lot of people who are making a game
are probably not area and it's so it doesn't affect on the same way wishes
they could put themselves a friend of mine people leave and manhattan or your
body
