Everyone knows what happened on 9/11, everyone saw the images, everyone felt the grief. But standing there really had a big impact on me.
No fringes, no big American flags, just people thinking about this dreadful day and how it was possible that such a terrible thing has happened.
From that day on, everything changed.... Leave a Comment

 World Trade Tower. by Vintom
People go there for differernt reasons, but all who do are surely reminded of one of the greyest days in modern history.
the picture that accompanies this description is all that remains of the Trade towers which has all been cleared away and the base is now ready to be built on again. Leave a Comment

 Ground Zero by J.I.M
It's very tragic here, there are many comments etched into the fences, messages of peace and tributes to those who died in the attacks.
I believe they are building a new building there now. Hopefully it will be a worthy replacement that will remind us of the bravery of many individuals that day. Leave a Comment

Walking south Manhattan I stopped and looked around the area of the city east of Ground Zero.
A compound wall surrounds all the busy construction for the new tower. The Path station is operational.
The neighborhood with Battery Park and St. Paul's Chapel & Trinity Church cemetery is very beautiful, historical, and inspiring.

the WTC used to stand by Lynsey-Jane
There are reminders as you look around of the people who died there and also of the acts of bravery by so many people.
GOD BLESS AMERICA. Leave a Comment

On my last trip to New York City, in October 2008, I visited Ground Zero. I had never been there before, and probably wouldn’t have gone if not for the fact that our body clock was off, after a long transatlantic flight, and we were wide-awake at 5 a.m.
Slipping quietly out of our apartment in Greenwich Village, taking care not to wake our hostess, we pulled open the heavy black grill door and exited the brownstone building into the cold, dark streets of New York before the sun was up. There was nobody out there. A garbage truck, a couple of people in service coveralls, and that’s about it. The storefronts were dark, apart from a Dunkin’ Donuts, where we picked up a hot drink for the way, and a delicatessen with a heap of gleaming orange pumpkins out front.
We had no map, but we knew the general direction. As we walked, the sun rose and New York began to stir. Ground Zero loomed up in front of us: Eight years after the fall of the Twin Towers, the place is a gigantic construction site completely surrounded by a corrugated iron fence that completely blocks it from sight.
As we stood there, observing the cranes and bulldozers and work crews running here and there, the gate suddenly swung open, allowing us a fleeting glimpse of the gaping hole in the ground that has left a gaping hole in so many hearts.
Directly opposite that gate was the fire station that lost many of its men that day. On the curb, a fireman was hosing down a firetruck emblazoned with the names of firefighters who died. Their names glittered in the morning sun. Leave a Comment

Although many tourists go there where the World Trade Center stood till 2001, I wasn’t sure I wanted to go. But a local lady told me go now because after a while even in some month the place will change again. It’s true! The area is under construction, huge machines everywhere try to create something new.(pic 1)
I just took some photos and then I visited the St.Paul’s chapel that is located near by (pic 2). I saw many people using the toilets inside the church during the ceremony and I dint know if I have to laugh or cry with this! This Episcopal church was built in 1766 and the sign outside says that is Manhattan’s oldest public building in continuous use. It’s also one of the building that survived the big fire of 1776 when almost a quarter of NYC burned! There is a spruce tree called “Tree of Hope” planted on 2003 by ground zero workers in place of a giant sycamore tree that was struck down during the collapse of the World Trade Center. (pic 3). The cemetery of the church facing the east side of Ground Zero. For many months after 11/9 the chapel was the rest base for many workers, police officers, fire fighters etc
Then we rested for a while at Liberty plaza (pic 4), a not so nice square where some children were playing classical music(pic 5) and many people were eating their lunch at the job break.
