Logan dedicates Sept. 11 memorial

M.L.


Boston (AP) -- A new $3.5 million memorial at Logan International Airport honors those who died when terrorists hijacked two airliners from Boston and crashed them into New York's World Trade Center seven years ago.

The 2.5-acre space is being formally dedicated Tuesday by Gov. Deval Patrick, airport officials and victims' families. American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175 took off from Logan on Sept. 11, 2001.

The outdoor site next to the Hilton Hotel and a parking garage is planted with grass and gingko trees. Two walkways lead up a small knoll to a green glass cube containing the names of 148 people aboard the doomed flights.

The Massachusetts Port Authority says it's also recognizing dedicated employees who restored the aviation system and comforted victims' friends and families.
