A granite memorial fountain honoring the victims of the bombing was designed by Elyn Zimmerman and dedicated in 1995 on Austin J. Tobin Plaza , directly above the site of the explosion . It contained the names of the six adults who were killed in the attack as well as an inscription that read : '' " On February 26 , 1993 , a bomb set by terrorists exploded below this site . This horrible act of violence killed innocent people , injured thousands , and made victims of us all . " '' The fountain was destroyed with the rest of the World Trade Center during the September 11 attacks . A recovered fragment from the 1993 bombing memorial with the text " John D " , from bombing victim John DiGiovanni , was later incorporated into a temporary memorial designed by Port Authority architect Jacqueline Hanley , and erected on the Liberty Street side of the site following the September 11 attacks . The memorial was visible across a fence barrier but was not open to the public
