NEW YORK (AP) - The Sept. 11 memorial will list the names of the dead according to the World Trade Center tower where they died, their company or the plane they were on, a change from the random listing envisioned two years ago by the memorial's designer, officials said Wednesday.
The new arrangement, announced by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, was supported by the memorial architect but outraged relatives who wanted to list their loved ones' ages, the floor they worked on at the trade center, and the ranks of fire and police officials who rushed into the buildings.
"The question of how the names are listed evokes strong feeling and convictions from relatives, colleagues and friends of those we lost," said Bloomberg, the chairman of the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation. "I have spent a lot of time listening to everyone's views on the subject and there is no 'right' answer. Nevertheless, it is time to move forward."
