Its hard to believe that it's already been a decade since that tragedy happened.
Here is a picture I scanned,
and this was the Twin Towers of the WTC
This photo was taken on March 2001
and months after my visit
early morning on September 11, 2001
The 9-11 attack happened that made the whole world terrified.
According to Wikipedia, it was a series of four coordinated suicide attacks by the terrorist from Al-Qaeda wherein they hijacked four jets.They intentionally hit the Twin towers of the World Trade Center in NYC, and both towers collapsed within two hours.
This destruction caused serious damage to Manhattan.
Innocent lives were lost, families looking for their loved ones, a daughter left alone, and a Wife facing parenthood on her own.
When I decided to visit, I thought of the seeing the Twin Towers which is now the Ground Zero.
and this was how it looked:
As you can see on the photo I wasn't able to get a good view of how deep it was.
The whole area was under construction.
The entire place was surrounded by metal barrier and as I look down, it was like a deep hole of emptiness.
I can't hardly see the engineers who were working on the construction site.
and I just stared blankly.
It was like a heavy feeling of sadness...
There was this store just in front the WTC site, along Church St., NYC
They open it to the public for viewing of the 9/11 WTC Tragedy
showed some short clips of victims, the survivors, and the plans and architectural designs to put up the National September 11 Memorial & Museum
Inside the Memorial where the plans of building up a National Museum on the very same site where the Twin Towers Collapsed and this store contains souvenirs, books, maps, key chains, pens---name it.
And all the profit will be for the foundation of the construction.
The Cleanup of the WTC site started back 2002
The WTC Memorial Foundation began its heavy construction on the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
The site where the Twin Tower collapsed will be the same site of the museum.
It was said that the memorial will be open on this very day.
and the the museum will open on 2012
here is the link for more details about it:

by the next time I visit NYC, I will surely see the National Septemberr 11 Memorial & Museum
and this would remind us that the 9/11 attack happened and would be able to share to the next generation.
