The World Trade Center cross, also known as the Ground Zero cross, is a group of steel beams found among the debris of the World Trade Center
site in Lower Manhattan, New York City, following the September 11 attacks in 2001. This set of beams is so named because it resembles a Christian Cross.

footprints of the Twin Towers.
Water cascades down the sides and disappears into a second recessed area, the bottoms of which cannot
