Field of Empty Chairs
The saddest and most
moving area of the Memorial was The Field of Empty Chairs. There are a total of
168 Empty Chairs on this field where the federal building once stood. There are
a total of 9 rows of chairs, representing the 9 floors of the former building.
Each person's chair is positioned in the row that corresponds to the floor where
they worked or were visiting. There are also 5 Empty Chairs that honor those who
were killed outside of the federal building. Each persons name is inscribed on
his chair. Yes, there are smaller chairs, too.
