A glass cube surrounds glass panels containing the names of the passengers & crew of the two flights that left Logan that fateful day. The outside of the structure isn't solid. Instead it is made up of thin slabs of glass, alternating in placement, each panel offset from the next and previous. Looking up, there are floating pieces of glass. Two simple benches stand within the structure, a place to sit in quiet contemplation. It is a place of peace in a busy airport.
A beautiful structure, a memory of a terrible day...
