No restrooms at 9/11 Memorial and Museum
New York Post ^ | May 22, 2011 | Anne Karni

The National September 11th Memorial and Museum is flush with cash -- but not bathrooms.

The nonprofit foundation running the $508 million project is expecting millions of visitors from across the globe to flock to lower Manhattan when it opens this year on the 10th anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks. But there won't be a single toilet available on the eight-acre green plaza -- a planning oversight now raising concerns in closed-door meetings.

Two large reflecting pools and cascading waterfalls on the site are intended to create a serene environment for quiet contemplation of the lives lost during the terror attacks. They may also be a frustrating reminder there's nowhere to relieve oneself.

I guess people can piss in the pool, in remembrance of Mohamed Atta.

An oversight?

That’s still not as bad as the building built the wrong way around: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/controversial-cambridge-history-faculty-becomes-a-listed-building-697990.html

probably the bathrooms were overlooked because Muzzies don’t use the toilet, could that be it? =)

"People will just have to go to nearby businesses"

With thousands of extra, non paying, customers, I wonder if the businesses are going to be compensated by the city or can charge?

Can’t say which is more stupid.

A man spending his entire life savings on advertising the end of the world is here, or the 911 memorial planning board having a major brain fart that leaves out basic human needs like bathrooms. LOL

Maybe Newt’s week beats them both.

Who designed the memorial?

Was Muslim money involved?

Did elite liberals influence the project?

A third year Architecture student wouldn't make this ‘mistake’...Was this intentional?

Follow the money - then follow the hate...

You know if this was a commercial program being built by developers, somewhere in the massive amounts of paperwork they must complete, there must be a form filled out in triplicate that shows how many bathrooms by gender, how to achieve gender equability in number of stalls and time tables on usage so men and women have equal time so women are not discriminatory waiting in line to pee

So they are telling me no NYC agency made them jump though hoops of fire to do this???

I find it hard to believe

Serene contemplation is so hard when you’re busting for a piddle.

The left virtually flushed the toilet on 9/11 with a pull of the lever in 2008.

One would have thought that the arguments between the proponents of “FLUSH” and “NON-FLUSH” toilets would have, in itself, have provided a review. However, if the “NON-FLUSHERS” were already in charge, they WON the ultimate victory....no more waste products in out drains.

They have sufficient foot baths for those coming to honor the terrorists.

—we have apparently arrived at the same level of government stupidity as the USSR after WW2—the “central planners” did the same thing in the new showpiece Moscow subway-—
