WTC - Ground Zero: SHOULDN'T EVEN BE A TOURIST ATTRACTION.
  • Tip Rating:
  • GROUND ZERO IS THE SITE OF THE TRAGIC EVENTS OF 9/11/01 WHEN TERRORISTS HIJACKED PLANES AND THEN DELIBERATLEY FLOWN THEM INTO THE TWIN TOWERS IN WHICH 3000 PEOPLE IN TOTAL DIED. IT IS KINDA DISRESPECTFUL TO MAKE GROUND ZERO A TOURIST SPOT AND FOR THE LOCALS TO CASH IN ON IT.

    HOWEVER, WHEN I WENT THERE THEY STARTED CONSTRUCTION WORK ON THE FOUNDATIONS AND YOU'LL ALSO FIND LOADS OF MEMORIALS ABOUT THE SITE.

    Leave a Comment

    Alternative: BATTERY PARK IS A PLEASANT PLACE TO WONDER AROUND IN. IT IS LOCATED NOT FAR FROM THE GROUND ZERO SITE.

     Great you enjoyed NYC - it has improved a lot in the last 15 years! You were even able to see the Times Square icon 'Naked Cowboy'! Good point on the WTC - I was there 3 months after it happened, as the torches were dismantling the steel skeleton wreckage

     Hello there Ren, You are welcome for you b-day wishes. You were still in the today's b-day wishes when I sent your wishes So Happy belated b-day. The White House Hotel hostel sounds like a great place to drop your head after a long day...Donna :)

     Gotta love NY. The naked Cowboy has been around for years, he's part of the landmark.
