Never Forget 9/11: Murals pay tribute to the fallen

A mural on Avenue B at 14th Street  in the East Village pays tribute to the victims of 9/11.
There was a hole in the city’s skyline after the twin towers of the World Trade Center crashed to the ground in a smoldering mountain of ash and twisted steel on Sept. 11, 2001. To channel a collective grief, New Yorkers across the five boroughs turned to paint, creating commemorative murals to remember the buildings and to honor the thousands of people who lost their lives.
