In Bethlehem, on the government plaza, is this sculpture that is a 10th Anniversary Memorial to 9/11.
The monument is located near the Bethlehem Area public Library, the easternmost building in the plaza.
The monument is roughly a 'Y' shape, made from the concrete slurry found at the World Trade Center. Inscribed in various places are binary code. Code found:
"1001 1010
0111 0010"
"01010000
