World Trade
Centre Site
Ground Zero

Very
interesting with what they have done to the site. It's all fenced
off and you are not allowed to leave flowers or anything. They've
put up big poster boards with lots of facts about the site and the
buildings and what happened on Sep 11. It's not overdone,
excessively depressing or emotional, just lots of facts and figues.
