At 9/11 Memorial, Name Placements Reflect Bonds Between Victims, Thanks To Algorithm. "When the National September 11 Memorial opens this fall, on the tenth anniversary of that world-changing day, the two friends’ names will be inscribed next to each other on the granite wall surrounding the Memorial Garden’s fountains.
Their adjacency is product of a masterful bit of programming undertaken by the New York media design firm Local Projects, which took 1,800 requests from families of the 3,500 9/11 victims, and created an algorithm that let them be grouped by affinity: firefighters with firefighters, cops with cops, all the members of each of the flights, first responders, or just pals."
