The words “Heroes come and go, but legends are forever” are carved into the platform below, along with the names of the nine people who died in the crash on January 26, 2020.

 

“You come up here and it is kind of emotional,” Medina told the Los Angeles Times. “The flowers, the jerseys, the hats blow away, and I think we need something more permanent.”
