Ground Zero

This was the most sobering part of our trip to NYC. We saved it for our last day.

This tribute houses moving memorials
and testimonies to the events of 9/11.

Just one corner of Ground Zero's construction site.

• Over 40,000 people worked in the World Trade Center in 2001 and another 150,000 commuted through or conducted business there everyday.

• "I was working as a salesman. My first territory was the WTC site. These tall buildings were cities within a city, a territory that was vertical, every floor was like entering a new block." (Corporate salesman)

• "You could virtually live your life in the Trade Center as a business employee and very seldom venture outside of the complex itself. Each floor was an acre. It was almost like having a college campus." (Investment executive)
