World Trade Center reflecting pool flowing and Freedom Tower construction

This is one of the reflecting pools at the World Trade Center construction site. They began testing the water flowing Tuesday I believe. These fountains are the footprints of the old World Trade Center towers destroyed on 9/11.

So was the "footprint" being filled with water??

@VforBieber It's tough to see from this far away, but each side/wall has water flowing over. It then drains into the smaller square in the center.

I went to the Memorial site on 10/25/11 and I thought it was a very fitting Memorial. My family lost a friend in the North Tower.

They're not still going to call it the 'Freedom Tower', are they?! I agree, it's a symbol of tenacity for the American people to rebuild on that spot, but 'Freedom Tower'?! Sounds corny. They should just call it The World Trade Center, at least I thought that was the plan...

@rejuvesite So they are finally filling it with water to be a pool like in the design, that would be a lot of progress right
