Having been born and raised in NYC, for us. the excavation is a sight that still makes us angry. When the planes flew into the Twin Towers we were loading up the motorcycle for a vacation trip down south to NV. / AZ. I got a call telling me to turn on T.V. What it looked to me was a small aircraft flying into the building. Little did I know. We started to tear up.
When the buildings started to collapse I thought charges had been placed on different floors. I felt they were indestructible
Those buildings were built in the early / mid seventies. I worked in them while being constructed. IIRC they had a center steel girded back bone and I'll call them wings for the floors coming out from the center. When I was there there were only concrete slab floors and know outside walls as yet
We go back to NYC about every year. Here's what some of Ground Zero looks like now.
The new tower viewed from the Staten Island ferry
Ladder Co. 10 That was at Ground Zero
The Reflection Pool at one tower sight
The massive Train Station built under another sight
And, LOL, a sight we don't miss during rush hour
I'm not afriad to say "I HATE MUSLIM TERRORISTS "
OK, back on topic. We took the S.I. ferry to Manhattan from S.I. just about every day. It was about a 30 min trip.
Got to talk with some NYPD officers. They have time on their hands as the ferry travels back and forth. One cop in particular had an interest in firearms. I told him what we carried back home, and he showed us covertly, what he carried as a bug.
It was a PM9 with Speer 124 G.D.s Go figure !
