The Big Apple On A Not So Big Budget - One World Trade Center
Visiting the One World Trade Center was not part of our original itinerary. We thought it might be depressing to visit the site where the twin towers once stood. I was up late watching CNN when it happened. Saw it live on cable TV when the second plane hit. When I woke up the next day, the world has changed.
The Freedom Tower or the One World Trade Center is the tallest building in the western hemisphere and 6th in the world. You can see it from a lot of places in New York. Adjacent to the building are two pools symbolizing the loss of life and the physical void left by the attacks.
The names of the victims are engraved on the side of the pool.
