911 Memorial
in New York, NY
Greenwich Ave. and Mulry
Here is another 911 memorial we passed while we were on the doubledecker bus tour.
This Memorial takes up the whole corner of Greenwich Avenue and Mulry Square. The whole corner is fenced off, and little pictures and plaques totally cover it on both sides.
The doubledecker bus did not stop here, but we could have gotten off the bus about a block down. That's the nice thing about the hop on hop off sightseeing tours.
Here is a closeup picture of a sample of what type of items are hanging on the fence.

Our WTC Pictures taken in early Dec 2001
After 9/11 all we could think about was going to New York to try to help. However, they wouldn't let anyone into New York, except emergency personnel, all transportation was stopped. We didn't get to go to the city until around the 12th of December. The WTC was still smoldering, and the sky was still full of smoke.
Once thing that I noticed was that all the large amounts of dust that came from the buildings collapsing, was gone. I purposely looked for dust from the collapse. I couldn't find any! The city had done such a fantastic cleanup job, there was no dust to be found anywhere, not even in the cracks of the sidewalks, not even on the buildings or the windowsills, which I found incredible! See this first picture of me walking toward the WTC, and notice how clean everything is.

We also went to New York City in November of 1999
We walked from 42nd Street all the way to the World Trade Center, we were going to go up to the top of the WTC but the line at the elevator was too long.
