Yesterday in the town of Moore Oklahoma, a bow, a prayer, a remembering of 25 people killed by a tornado² one year ago, it was a EF 5, the most powerful classification of twist. It was a mile wide in some places and it left a 17 mile long gash³ in the landscape, there were scenes of unbelievable destruction, block after block were only foundation were visible. Officials need to make new street signs, so rescuers knew they were going. 353 people were injured, a school, a medical center, businesses were lost, but for those who have chosen to stay, ground has been broken and rebuilding has begun.

Today is the public opening of 911 memorial museum in New York, it centers on the remembering a dark chapter in American history and honoring the way that American overcame it.But that's not the only thing that distinguishes from some other museums, unlike the Ms for instance, the 911 memorial charges a fee for general public to get in. And another source of his revenue which is accepted that other museums is controversial here. Prayer for his beauty and dignity, there is growing criticism of high admission fees. 24 dollars to get in, and sales of souvenirs at the gift shop, I think it's a regular cross? attraction, G shares the same sentiment in this New York post headline titled little shop of horror, on sale items such as the scars with the image of twin towers, bracelet⁴ and stuffed animals.Not the way Richard says that his son should be remembered, a firefighter killed on that day. Basically, make a money over my son's dead body, i think that's disgusting.We know it's the right thing that when visitor come here, they want to take ? away. John Daniel is the president and CEO of the 911 memorial and museum. He spends the last eight years developing the site, which will cause an estimated 65 million per year to run.The museum receives no government funding and relies on donations and money from gift shop, should you be extra sensitive about what you sell there? You know the truth is that this is Unit States from America and the number one thing is that you don't like what we are selling, don't buy it. The number one seller in our gift shop is a book called please be remembering, which talks about the building over the memorial. Do I expect to say that everything we've done here is absolutely 100% right, there is always bump in the road.LO lost his son Jonathan who is the firefighter here,and were not perfect,I hope he say 911 memorial museum is like the USS Arizona memorial in PH..Or the Oklohma city national memorial and museum, which are also located in the sacred site and have gift shop, somebody has to pay for this thing regardless of how powerful it is.LO the feeling he has for his son when he sees his name at the reflecting pool far out way of any controversy⁵.It's reflecting absence, it says that their souls are falling into the water.Jason Carol, CNN, New York.
