I’ve been watching the Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero series on Discovery all evening… I still can’t believe it’s almost been 10 years.
If you haven’t already seen this, check it out. Time lapse of the 9/11 Memorial construction from 2004-today. It’s really going to be beautiful!
Today would have marked the 38th birthday of the World Trade Center Towers.

In remembrance of you, Dad. I miss you. Iove you. I thank you everyday of my life. 9|11 forever in my heart.
“I like to go down [to Ground Zero] and pray and see the place and remember,” said Mrs. Traoré, a native of Ivory Coast who came to the United States in 1997. “When I go there, I feel closer to him. And him to me. I pray for him, too.”
The God she prays to she calls Allah. Mrs. Traoré, 40, says praying in the pit feels entirely natural, even if some of those standing with her — widows and widowers, parents and children — blame her religion for the destruction of that day.
“That’s not fair,” she said. “It’s not because of Allah that these buildings fell.”
