The Tower of Voices is designed to be a 93-foot tall musical instrument housing 40 wind chimes, each representing a passenger or crew member of United Flight 93.
It serves as a memorial for the 40 passengers and crew members of United Flight 93, who heroically thwarted a terrorist attack on September 11, 2001.
The tower's height of 93 feet symbolizes the flight number, and its open-air design allows the chimes to be activated by the wind, representing the voices of the passengers and crew.
It is part of the Flight 93 National Memorial, which spans over 2,200 acres and includes a visitor center, walking trails, and the crash site itself.
The structure is made of concrete and steel, chosen for their durability and ability to withstand the elements while supporting the heavy chimes.
The tower was completed in September 2018, marking the 17th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
The tower was designed by Paul Murdoch Architects, who aimed to create a living memorial that interacts with nature.
