I thought the 911 Memorial spotlights were supposed to be at Ground Zero, but apparently they're not. Don't know if this always has been the case in previous years or not.
911 Memorial Spotlights on 9/11/9 as seen from Ground Zero
Here is what I saw when I looked south of Ground Zero. Don't know why these weren't at Ground Zero as I've heard they have been in years past.
911 Memorial Spotlights 9/11/9 01
I've always felt that the spotlights were the perfect homage to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the WTC--poetic, haunting, somber... According to NY1.com (source: http://www.ny1.com/Default.aspx?ArID=105570): "Two beams created by two banks of 88 separate spotlights are lit every year to evoke the image of the World Trade Center's towers. The lights were first lit in March 2002 to mark the six-month anniversary of the attacks. This year, the eighth anniversary of the September 11th attacks was the first officially-designated 'National Day of Service and Remembrance.'"
