Caity: The twin reflecting pools at the National September 11th Memorial are just what memorials should be: vast, and arresting, and humbling, and sad. The museum is very expensive.

Days ahead of the 13th anniversary of the attacks, the National Sept. 11 Memorial Museum has unveiled two additions to their collection: the dusty, tan shirt worn by a member of SEAL Team Six during the raid that took out Osama bin Laden and a commemorative coin given to "Maya," the CIA operative who served as the basis for Jessica Chastain's character in Zero Dark Thirty.

The 9/11 Museum has removed a commemorative cheese plate—"with heart symbols marking the spots where the hijacked planes made impact on 9/11"— from its gift shop after complaints from victims' family members and the public.

On a day in which many New York City residents and visitors rallied to help areas ravaged by Hurricane Sandy, news emerged that the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center is flooded with at least five feet of water. The museum, which is still not completed, houses some of the more important artifacts from the 9/11 attacks, including the last column standing from the towers, the famous cross-shaped steel beam, and one of the tower's stairways.
