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.

That’s great. lol
I guess people can piss in the pool, in remembrance of Mohamed Atta.
And New Yorkers still insist that we, in flyover country, are the idiots who need to be rescued from ourselves...i
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
Money well spent...... /s =.=
probably the bathrooms were overlooked because Muzzies don’t use the toilet, could that be it? =)
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.
Well you can’t forget about number 2 while you are thinking of number 1. :)
Don’t get all “ wee wee’d” up about it!
I say this WITH RESPECT and out of respect for all murdered-—they deserve better than this below ground outdoor rex valve toilet..
most horrible memorial to them.
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...
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-—
