How the 9/11 Memorial Reflecting Pools Are Deep Cleaned | Deep Cleaned | Insider

The two waterfall pools at the 9/11 Memorial serve as the centerpiece of one of the most iconic monuments in the United States. These striking pools, each spanning roughly an acre, occupy the footprints of the former north and south towers of the World Trade Center and commemorate the thousands of lives lost during the tragic events of September 11th.

Five nights a week, staff members wade into the pools to clean and remove debris, to keep them in pristine condition. Meanwhile, engineers use a special blowtorch to restore the name panels above the pools, ensuring that the memories of the victims endure with honor, respect, and dignity.
