A design featuring two reflecting pools, where the World Trade Centre towers once stood, was chosen as a memorial to the victims of the Sept 11, 2001 attacks, officials said on Tuesday. The design called "Reflecting Absence" featured a pair of pools below street level, an open plaza of cobblestones and randomly arranged pine trees. The names of the 2,752 people who died in New York in the attacks as well as the six people who died in the 1993 bombing of the Trade Center would be engraved on stone surrounding the pools.
