Controversial director Oliver Stone’s film about the devastating September 11 attacks opens in the US tonight.

Eight competing designs for a memorial to the nearly-3,000 victims of September 11 terror attacks – including reflecting pools, walls of names and a tomb for the unidentified – were unveiled as the rebuilding of New York’s World Trade Centre entered a delicate new phase.

A tomb of unknown victims could become the focus of a permanent memorial at the World Trade Centre.
