Right in front of the proposed memorial that will be built where the twin towers were. We spent our P-day here. Lots of pictures to follow.
This is Doug in front of Ground Zero. It has all been fenced off. Hard to get a look at the spot unless you take a paid walking tour, so we did. Also there is a museum of 9-11. There is a cute quaint little restaurant next to the museum that took care of feeding many people during those first days and months.
Here Doug is standing in front of a wall of pictures of all the people who died in the tragedy.
This is a model of the new building that will be built on the spot. It is called the Freedom Tower. Notice the two reflecting water pools amongst the trees. This is to represent the void of the two towers on the area. This building will be as tall as the towers were.
In front of the Museum. We spent a couple of hours here. There is several short videos inside that explain the magnitude of destruction, and several eye witness accounts and audio stories that you can listen to. Many pictures, and a place in the basement to share your own feelings.
