Like you said, no human being could walk away without shedding a tear.

I was there a couple of years ago. I felt that same shaking to the core while I was standing there looking at the constructed hole in the ground(of the memorial). The way the water just disappears and you can't see a bottom from any vantage point was incredibly moving to me. I couldn't take my eyes off of it. I just stood there staring at it reflecting on the symbolism of that bottomless pit. So many souls lost and so many lives altered.
