This is the first I've heard about this. Do you know how they plan to do it, it sounds interesting.

Long day is right. It's because 10 freaking suns came out at the same time & a bugger used a bow & arrows to shot down 9. If you're interested in the whole story let me know.

One aspect of the winning design, the Path of the Sun, allows sunlight to shine directly on the site between 8:46 and 10:28 a.m., the times the first plane hit until the second tower collapsed.

But I do remember reading something more specific mentioning shadows and sunlight on 9/11, but cannot find it presently.

One more link with something more specific.

It features sloping, angular towers with a 1,776-foot airy spire jutting into the skyline and a space designed to capture a wedge of sunlight each year on Sept. 11, from the time that the first plane hit until the time the last tower fell, claiming almost 2,800 lives.
