Ground Zero Photos New York City
“Giuliani proclaimed, “We will rebuild. We’re going to come out of this stronger than before, politically stronger, economically stronger. The skyline will be made whole again.”
-Wikipedia
“Goldberger is the author of “Up From Zero” about the rebuilding process.
“In the first year, it looked as if we were really gonna aim for the highest thing possible. And then, gradually, sort of like the waves eating away at a sand castle, you know, they just wore away, bit by bit and it’s gotten more and more ordinary,” says Goldberger.
“And the high expectations for this site sadly, they’re mostly gone,” he says.”

The plan for rebuilding Ground Zero
I Visited ground zero in Manhattan a few days ago to watch the rebuilding process. Seven years later it is still a hole in the ground.

I picked up a little brochure describing the plans to rebuild the wreckage, plans to build a great monument to show the strength of my country. All I found was a squabble of opinion and a still gaping hole in the center of the proverbial financial district of the modern world.

A gaping wound still festers.

I think you both had a terrible outlook on this. This was a tragic day for our country and you just want to sell the land and see businesses be built there? Where is your compassion. People lost loved ones and you just want to build over that and expect people to forget about it….to just move on? I think that is absurd. Yes, this nation is declining but not because we are mourning those we lost that day but for so many other reasons. Building a monument here is not going to stop the country from moving on, growing, or changing. You are pathetic.
