Ground Zero

One other place I visited on the New York trip was Ground Zero where the World Trade Center was before September 11.  You cannot get very close and there is a high fence all around it.  Heavy equipment is going in and out and there is a lot of noise and construction.  It is almost impossible to imagine the buildings that were there before and what that day was like.

On the side of a building across the street is a relief Memorial to the rescue workers that died.

On the other side is the church that opened its doors to anyone that needed help or a place to go.  It has several exhibits in memory of what happened.
