In 1999, on the 3rd anniversary of the fateful crash of Valujet 592, a sobering and strikingl memorial was dedicated to the victims in the Everglades. The memorial includes 110 concrete pillars in varying sizes representing those who lost their lives that day and is located 12 miles west of Krome Avenue in Miami-Dade County. It is just north of the Tamiami Trail, along the Tamiami Canal to the east of Lock L-67. You need to cross the canal to get to the memorial. It is 10 miles east of the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida Casino, and sits on a small hill above the canal.
The shape of the memorial reflects the shape of an airplane wing and resembles an oversized chess board. The formation of the concrete pillars points directly to the location of the impact site. A granite slab lies adjacent to the pillars, bearing the names of the dead and also pointing toward the site of the impact, 12 miles due north.
