Each nearly one acre in size, the reflecting pools at the 9/11 Memorial mark the original footprints of the Twin Towers. James Maroon is part of a crew that cleans the pools, honoring a painful history in New York City
and Josh Katz, told TIME the crew mostly cleans up leaves, although occasionally other items, such as cameras and jewelry, fall in.
The view from the bottom is striking, he explains: “The walls are 30 feet high. It feels like you’re in a canyon. While the pools are being cleaned, the waterfalls are turned off as you can see in the film. However, when we first got into the pool Anthony LoCasto, the chief engineer of the memorial, made a call on his walkie. Within a few minutes the waterfalls started pouring down around us. It was spectacular to be at the bottom of this memorial, surrounded by four, 30-foot waterfalls.
Twenty years after the attacks, Charow’s video honors the poignant anniversary as well as the resilience of a city and its workers who continue to remember what was lost on that day. “Maintaining these incredibly important landmarks in our city requires a remarkable amount of devotion and hard work from a small group of individuals to make sure that this memorial looks flawless for the families that come to see it,” Charow says.
