Campus has a 9-11 memorial site


Honolulu Community College hosts a memorial to victims of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Twin five-foot-tall steel towers support a plexiglass American flag. Attached to the back of the memorial, in a sealed vessel, are a golf-ball-sized piece of World Trade Center rubble and a charred hunk of the Pentagon’s roof. The golf-ball-sized piece came from the rubble of the World Trade Center. It was donated to the college by a New York resident who wished to remain anonymous.
Designed by a sheet-metal instructor on campus, Danny Aiu, the entire memorial was built with donated funds and materials and volunteer labor. It is made of gleaming polished steel and plexiglass and was placed beside a 3-ton piece of the Berlin Wall.on
The memorial is in remembrance to those who were killed, including Christine Snyder, who had attended classes at HonCC. She was killed when United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in Pennsylvania.
