On Sunday, October 25, 2026, a man committed the loathsome and nauseating act of defacing the North Memorial Pool of the 9/11 Memorial. The North and South Memorial pools were constructed on the footprints of the Twin Towers and are inscribed with the names of those killed during the terror attacks on September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. Those names include the names of 37 Port Authority police officers and 47 Port Authority of NY & NJ civilian employees.
Thankfully, the perpetrator was apprehended by Port Authority Police Officer Ryan Lopez and charged with various criminal charges.
Port Authority PBA President Frank Conti said of the suspect's actions, "This was not a protest, nor did it bring attention to this person's supposed cause. This was an inappropriately placed outrageous and vile act of vandalism disrespecting to the memories of those killed on September 11, 2001, and their families. The actions of this perpetrator failed to further his grievances yet succeeded in exhibiting his ignorance through criminal behavior. Hopefully, he'll be held accountable and punished accordingly."
