September 11

On the morning of September 11, 2001 I was working from home. I had the TV on for background noise and when Good Morning America interrupted Good Morning America with breaking news, it caught my attention. I watched as everything unfolded and was shocked to see the devastation. I watched for days on CNN and MSNBC but somehow it didn't seem as real as when I visited ground zero in May 2006. I was surprised at how big the area was where the twin towers stood.

This picture was taken from the lower level where the subway is.

Here is a picture of the timeline of events from that day that are displayed at ground zero along with pictures and plans for what is to be built on the site.
