BBC News | Americas | Work commences on 9/11 memorial In my opinion, this has taken far too long. Without a source to quote, I paraphrase that if the buildings had been rebuilt as quickly as possible, they would not have been a symbolic victory for al Qaeda, they would have been a symbolic victory for the American spirit. This feeling is all to personal for me. After the 9/11 attacks happened, I didn’t really feel a personal connection or anything…after all I had never even been to New York before. 6 months later, when I visited the site, I was stunned into silent reflection at the sight of the gaping hole. Now if the buildings … Continue reading →
