点评:On our family summer road trip, we took a day and checked out the most recent additions to the Flight 93 Memorial. We have been here a few times over the years and each time it is different.
Our first stop was the Tower of Voices. We have been over to the Flight 93 Memorial a couple of times, but both times we came this was not here so this is new to all of us. The purpose of the Tower of Voices is that it is a landmark feature near the memorial entrance visible from the Lincoln Highway. It provides a living memorial in sound to honor the 40 passengers and crewmembers of United flight 93 who died on September 11, 2001 when the plane crashed nearby. The tower is 93 feet tall and has 40 chimes each representing a person, that plays different tones when the wind blows. It was very quiet here as we took it all in. Extremely tall as you can see per the pictures with the kids, standing under it. The day we were here, the wind was just barely blowing so we really couldn’t hear anything, but you can actually view it 24/7 by scanning the board on site.
I will say that there’s a very somber feeling when you here. Please be respectful when coming here.
Hours are 9 to 5 every day and it is free to visit.

翻译:在我们全家的夏季公路旅行中,我们花了一天时间参观了 93 号航班纪念馆的最新设施。这些年来我们来过这里几次,每次都有不同的感受。
我们的第一站是声音之塔。我们去过 93 号航班纪念馆几次,但两次都不在这里,所以这对我们所有人来说都是新的。声音之塔的目的是成为林肯高速公路上可见的纪念馆入口附近的地标。它提供了一个活生生的声音纪念碑,以纪念 2001 年 9 月 11 日在附近坠毁的联合航空 93 号航班上遇难的 40 名乘客和机组人员。这座塔高 93 英尺,有 40 个风铃,每个风铃代表一个人,当风吹过时会发出不同的音调。当我们欣赏这一切时,这里非常安静。从孩子们站在塔下的照片中可以看到,它非常高。我们来这里的那天,风很小,所以我们真的听不到任何声音,但你实际上可以通过扫描现场的公告板来全天候观看。
我要说的是,当你来到这里时,你会有一种非常忧郁的感觉。来这里时请保持尊重。
开放时间为每天 9 点至 5 点,参观免费。
* 入口和停车场设有轮椅通道。
