Landing back at Battery Park on the southern tip of Manhattan from Liberty & Ellis, we walked (really freezing now) to the World Trade Center site and visited the 9/11 Memorial. The new World Trade Center – one building only:
We all agreed, the memorial was really well done: beautiful and respectful. It was a sombre visit.
They have build two huge water features on each of the 2 buildings’ footprints – they had no intent of ever building on those sites again. Around each feature are etched the names of all of the lives lost. It’s a cascading waterfall into a pool, with another inside.
We then entered the new museum adjacent to the site. Retaining wall and footings:
A fire-truck caught in the collapse – all fireman gone.
I’m really glad we went and paid our respects – we would thoroughly recommend it to all.
