New York City’s National September 11 Memorial and Museum (along with the once Freedom Tower now One World Trade Center and other hyperbole of yesterday) may finally arise sometime during this present generation’s life expectancy. Until then, as an added attraction to the Big Dig (aka Ground Zero) bemused hordes of curious onlookers will be [...]
The number of documented deaths among World Trade Center rescue workers has reportedly soared since last year.
A representative from the New York State Department of Health told the New York Post Sunday that 817 workers have died since the attacks, up from 664 deaths last September.
Officials tell the Post the rise is mainly due to [...]
This design (this overall “Freedom”project) has disintegrated into such a pathetic whirl of cost overruns, bureaucratic bungling and arbitrary delays that the entire shebang has loss its significance. Most people around the world still view Ground Zero as a “hole in the ground;” unfortunately, after this endless series of snafus, people will still view it [...]
The staircase that served as a final escape route in the World Trade Center’s horrific final moments is now a museum piece…but without a museum.

At around 12:00 p.m. on February 26, 1993 a massive blast ripped through the World Trade Center and, thereby, opened a new phase in terrorist warfare. The bombing killed 6 people and injured 1,000 others. We had [...]
Welcome Back The Spotlight ‘O Terror
Green – Low: This setting is here just as a reference point. DHS will never use it because it would mean we didn’t need them anymore.
Blue – Guarded: This rarely used setting on the Stoplight ‘O Terror could indicate things like an undocumented worker within 3 square miles of the [...]
While the horrors of September 11, 2001 gradually vanish into the dust of controversy, cynicism and indifference, a small memorial to that day modestly stands in Staten Island. The memorial is called “Postcards” and its arms seem to stretch across New York Harbor, focusing on the spot where the World Trade Center once stood.
