Wish I was older when it happened. 10 years older to be precise. Would have fucking loved to go do my part in Afghanistan. I have a lot of close friends now, from my church, who signed up within the week of it happening.

I never really quite understood what happened as I was only eight.

I get a sick feeling and chills when I see the videos. It's sickening to see those people jump from the towers, or the faces of those walking away from it all injured. I can't imagine what it must have been like to be a New Yorker that day.

I get so pissed after seeing the videos though.

And above your tomb, the stars will belong to us.

I just cant do the "hear all the news of that day" stuff. It was being broadcast today on one of my local stations. That doesn't mean we forget, or dont mourn the loss of life. But reliving every moment goes against every but of the natural healing process.

I like the memorial they have on the site. Very thoughtful and classy.

I'm a little disappointed with the new tower though. A symbolic 1776 feet? Gahhh. They should have shot for regaining the tallest building in the world title.

Something taller than the Burj Khalifa would be a little ridiculous for the NY skyline. I think the new building, and especially the architecture of PATH Hall and 2WTC, look great.

A friend who lives in the city took this with her phone.

Tower 1 was almost 1776 feet actually.

1776m

I think the tower they're building is quite nice. It would be cool having an 800m+ tower though.

This facing East would be neat...

I really like the new one, and the symbolic 1776 is awesome.

i miss the twin towers. I remember my face lighting up with excitement as soon as I saw those behemoths whenever we'd drive in to NY. They were like giant "Welcome to NYC" signs.

I hated my old school but I'm really gonna miss living in lower manhattan if not just because I got to see the progress of 1WTC going up for a full year. When I got there it was this big:

When I left (well, this was on the night of Bin Laden's death, I think they added about 4-5 more floors when I left 2 weeks later) it had reached this height:

It's going up very quickly. Pretty impressed.

there's this one video on YouTube that's just the audio of a 911 call placed by a guy who was inside a tower a few minutes before it collapsed... every time I hear it it makes me want to grab a rifle

Looks nice.. I think the whole 1776 thing turns me off more than anything.

Still doesn't dominate the skyline the same way the towers did though. One of those things were impressive but two right next to each other was on another level. Seeing it coming into NYC from Jersey was always a treat. Everything looked small compared to them.

The WTC was bloody imposing, tbf.

yep

it's just so fucking awful. i can't imagine how either party felt, the guy sounds so angry and scared and i'm sure the dispatcher felt helpless, knowing there was probably nothing that could be done.

I'm sure neither of them expected the tower to collapse though. I wonder how he had time to scream like that. You'd think he'd just hear a loud noise and be instantly crushed.

Hope it was painless for him.

Weren't only 6 people pulled out of the rubble?
