On clear night, the lights of the memorial can be seen miles away, from Long Island to Rockland County. Pilots even claimed that the beams can be seen from the sky over Ohio and this panorama is an exceptional view of the two beams, which not only pay a tribute to the lost souls, but resume in their beauty and yet complexity, the fearlessness of those who do not want their society to crumble under the threat of terrorism.
