Four years on…
The anniversary of September 11th is upon us again. A lot seems to be happening in America at the moment. I don’t think they’re quite used to things happening in their own country to this degree. I didn’t realise that they were in the midst of planning a new commercial building for the Ground Zero site. The ‘Freedom Tower’ apparantly, but that’s not due to be finished until 2011.
I’d never realised how many NY firefighters were killed at the World Trade Centre site. Apparantly, 343 died, which is 12% of the total victims. That’s a lot. They’re meant to be putting a memoral up for the victims but that won’t be finished for another 4 years. I mean, 8 years to create a memorial? Take their time.
I’m sure they’re in many people’s prayers and minds today - but for their families and friends, every day.
