The bombing happened at 9:02 so they have a wall facing one way that says 9:01, and another wall facing the opposite direction that says 9:03 on it. In the middle they have a shallow pool that spans the space between the two walls. It is flat and empty...it is a really powerful part of the memorial.

This is the tree that survived the bombing. They have a quote on the wall in front of it about being survivors. It was too long to take a picture of, but I loved it.

There is an empty chair for each of the 169 people who died in the bombing. Each chair has one of the victim's names on it. This is where the building actually stood.

That is really cool that you got to go there, Anjane'. It's nice to see what they've done to remember people and to feel like you're honoring them to be there.
