- Each fountain tower has four viewing
platforms (minimum 32’ X 32’).
- The plaza has trees and shrubbery native
to Shanksville, PA.
- The fountain is constructed of steel
and
green-tinted glass.
- A shimmering film of water drops from
the top of the towers to the upper pentagon (and is
then recycled).
- A separate piping system for the upper
pentagon pumps water out to a
circular ring, which then drops through
3016 holes (for victims) to the lower pentagon
pool (and is then recycled).
- The upper pentagon may be the same
height as “The Pentagon” (77 feet, 3.5 inches).
It may be constructed of perforated glass floating
within structural steel supports.
- The lower glass pentagon is supported
by 51 columns (50 states and Washington, DC).
- The pedestrian plaza is covered with
granite
and similar materials.
- The plaza contains five glass panels
with
the inscribed names of victims, of companies leasing
space in WTC, and of rescue units.
- A blue laser light projects from each
tower
at night, visible from great distances.
