truly sad.

 

 

If you open that pic and look at the site, there is a black mirrored building directly to the left of center of the site. The next building to the left of that is an apartment building. My friend lives there. I was just down there last weekend and that area is HORRIFYING. We went up on the 24th floor roof deck of his apt and looked down into the site. There is a never ending rotation of trailer truck dump trucks coming off the FDR, filling up with debris and heading back up the FDR to wherever they are putting all the stuff. The streets are filthy, they wash them everynight with street sweepers and fire hoses. The place is lit up at night like a football stadium and there are demolition crews and workers everywhere.

The scariest part aside from the fact that those buildings are gone, is the destruction to the buildings around it. They are all burned, charred black and the windows are all blown out of them, roofs crushed in.

A block to the left of that building with the red tarps on it is the Old Trinity Church. In front of that on the fence is about a 60 foot long wall of pictures, flowers, cards, peoples stuff, American flags everywhere. Truly terrifying to be down there.

 

It always makes you think about it when you watch a film that is set in NY and you see the towers there.... very very sad day indeed

 

 

NEVER EVER FORGET WHAT THOSE BASTARDS DID. DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY LEWAY ON HOW WE WILL DEAL WITH THEM. It seems we have grown soft and forgetfull or maybe it is just the media presentation on how we are dealing with these aholes but any talks of forgiveness per religious groups is out of the question. My 2 cents.
Those pics should be etched in our minds forever.

these pics are absolutely horrific. i havent been down there since the wednesday afterwards.. the last i saw there was a whole helluva lot more debris.

i can still see the planes flying into the building when i close my eyes.. i would have rather have seen it on television than be a witness.. perhaps i'd feel differently, perhaps i wouldnt be as mad, perhaps my anger towards the people who have done this to me and the rest of america wouldnt be as great.. perhaps... catch bin laden, detain the terrorists and let me have 5 minutes with them.. thats all i ask. i have pictures of my friends and i at a birthday party right before halloween.. two of them arent with us any longer. going to funerals and memorials and listening to mothers cry, watching people with expressionless faces, knowing that everyone around me is filled with the same anger is devastating. but we all learn to move on. theyve moved us to jersey city.. right across the river, where the view outside my window is lovely lower manhattan, yet its so vacant.. missing something. lady liberty seems to stare at the gaping hole as well. every morning i look out the window and im reminded of what happened.. the planes, the fire, the people, the tragedy.

nice pics.. how were you able to get so close?

 

Great pics thank you; that is if something so horrific can be called great.
Right now I'm fighting to hold back the tears. In a second or two I will be ready to sacrafice my life to right the wrong that has been commited against us!

 

While the person who took them is also named Mark, he is not me. I don't know the background of the pictures, sorry.

 

Nice post, Mark...thanks...
