East New York Posted September 1, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 1, 2011 NEW YORK (AP) —Ten years after the 9/11 attacks destroyed the World Trade Center, an 80-story glass and steel tower is rising like a phoenix from the ashes of ground zero. The site called a "hole in the ground" for years has cranes in the air, trains running underground and hundreds of trees planted around giant, man-made waterfalls to remember the dead of Sept. 11. And the surrounding neighborhood —no longer just a financial district —is bursting with young families, new schools, a Whole Foods and a Barnes & Noble. Tourists squint and point their cellphones at 1 World Trade Center, once known as the Freedom Tower. "I'm kind of proud because I was here two weeks after 9/ 11 and this was a dust pit," said Larry Brancato, 59, of Wallingford, Conn, walking by ground zero. "It just shows that Americans have always had a can-do attitude." After years of inertia, and prolonged disputes between government agencies, insurer and a developer who had just taken out a 99-year lease on the towers when they were toppled, the development of the trade center is substantial, and the tallest tower can now be seen for miles. http://news.yahoo.com/finally-world-trade-center-rises-ground-zero-195628272.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortline Bus Posted September 1, 2011 Share #3 Posted September 1, 2011 It's a very nice building. I've watched Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero, which shows construction and I personally can't wait to see how it looks when it's completed. Agreed. Other than actually buliding a replica of the oringal WTC, this was the best choice and looks like a beauty. Still it's a shame that this new towers could not had been ready for the 10th annivesary or at least close to finish by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted September 2, 2011 Share #10 Posted September 2, 2011 The new World Trade Center is unique. I like it very much, but I do feel sorry for the people that wanted new Twin Towers. Something should be built for them somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32 3348 Posted September 7, 2011 Share #14 Posted September 7, 2011 The progress at the WTC site truly is amazing. A lot of people aren't aware of it but they make tangible progress at a pretty fast pace. If you wanna see what else they've done you can check out http://www.wtcprogress.com.

EE Broadway Local Posted September 13, 2011 Share #15 Posted September 13, 2011 I really like the reflecting pools! They're beautiful! I saw the reflecting pools and also the PATH terminal on KVOA TV NBC Channel 4.1, KGUN TV ABC Channel 9.1, and KOLD TV CBS Channel 13.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
