Man jumped into the pool at the 9/11 memorial site. New York left shocked

Dramatic scenes unfolded on October 9th before 7:30 AM Eastern Time. At Lower Manhattan, there is a memorial frequently visited by tourists, commemorating the events of September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center skyscraper collapsed as a result of a terrorist attack, with approximately 3,000 people losing their lives.

Suddenly, a 33-year-old man appeared among them, who first fell into the pool, which was a part of this place, and then tried to get into the abyss located in its middle. This caused panic among the tourists, who began to scream. The man was injured, but from the accounts of witnesses, it seems he injured himself even before the jump.

To rescue the 33-year-old, the services had to empty the pool. The man was examined by medical rescuers and transported to Bellevue Hospital - he suffered a leg injury, but his condition is described as stable. Local authorities have identified him as a "person with emotional disorders".

I saw how it happened. The man's leg was bleeding before he fell into the pool. I'm glad he survived the fall and got help - wrote on platform X (formerly Twitter) Amanda K.

As reported by CBS News, the man allegedly did this due to his father. However, it is unknown whether his father was one of the victims of the terrorist attacks.

A 33-year-old man has been accused of causing scandal and illegally trespassing on memorial grounds. The police are still conducting an investigation into his case.

The 9/11 Memorial Pools were designed by Michael Arad and landscape architect Peter Walker. Their design was chosen in early 2004. They are part of a massive square where over 400 white swamp oaks grow. The memorial was opened on September 11, 2011.
