It was supposed to serve as a memorial to those who died in the tragic terrorist attack on American soil savagely killing over 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001. The 11,000 pound, 18 foot column was unceremoniously dumped on the East end of Riverlink Park five years ago. There was supposed to be a monument built around the erect column with a public dedication ceremony in Spring of 2012. On December 15, 2011. The memorial was never built, the public dedication ceremony never happened. The World Trade Center artifact remains where it was dumped five years ago, hidden behind Riverlink Park’s event tent. This serves as another failed promise of the Thane administration, a disgrace to those who died and a slap in the face to those Firefighters, Police Officers, Paramedics and volunteers who worked so hard to rescue victims of that attack.
