We took the Subway all the way down town to City Hall and walked two blocks to where the Twin Towers were. It was an amazing experience. After 6 years, there is still a deep hole, 7 stories deep.
This building is just across the way. It is only half the height of the twin towers. It is a 55 story high building. And it is one tall building. Can you imagine one, no two buildings side by side twice the size? They say it only takes about 1 1/2 minutes to go to the top of the twin towers in an elevator. That is some ear popping fast ride.
There was 10 buildings affected by the terroristic act. 7 were completely destroyed. Three others are either being taken down floor by floor or rebuilt. One of these huge cranes, that is run by a women, is taking one of the buildings down, one floor at a time from the top down.
This is the fire station that is right across the street. There were ten fire fighters from that station that lost their lives. There is this really cool memorial along side the building done in a bronze cast. About 8 feet high by about 30 feet long.
This is St. Paul's church that is right across the street from the towers. It is the oldest running church in the country. I believe it was build in the 1700's. The fence around the church became a shrine for many of the victums during those dark days after the tragedy.
