Today marks the 9th year since the tragic events of September 11th 2001, when The Twin Towers Of The World Trade Center in New York City were destroyed by two hijacked Boeing 767 planes in an elaborate crime plot, the Pentagon was damaged by another plane, and the third plane, reportedly headed for The White House, crashed in Shanksville, Pa after a passenger revolt.
Over 3,000 people were killed, countless families impacted, and the sprit of America damaged, perhaps irreparably. And so because the New Freedom Tower's design is not the aggressive, confident, proud one that marked the original World Trade Center Towers. It's almost as if the new design is afraid to be tall.
In retrospect, part of the reason for the way Freedom Tower was designed is due to design strength concerns. But I personally favor Donald Trumps' idea of rebuilding the same design as before. Taller and stronger.
Two videos mark this day.
The first video is this blogger's explanation of where he was on that September 11th Day.
This second video is of my good friend Bill Chackhes talking about, and giving a brief tour of, Ground Zero at World Trade Center, New York City.
Never forget, yes. But also, don't hate either.
