Tonight im going to New York for the second time in my life. The first time i went was exactley a month before 9/11 (Agaust 11 2001). Its pretty scary on the top floor, although the view from New York was great. Now three years later im going back to New York a month after 9/11 (just not the 11th) and i was wondering if anyof you guys wanted some before and after pictures. i bet it must sad for all of you who never got a chance to go to see the towers so if you guys want some pics ill gladly post them.

I was there 2 months before that day. I went to the world trade centers, and I saw them from Newark International on the way home. I was also scared because my grandpa was in D.C. on the 11th, and was supposed to be comming home tha day. Luckily he didn't. I would rather him be stuck there for a few days tahn to not be here today. Have fun in NYC.

Go Yankees!!!

that must have been scary to have your grandfather there. Anyways im back from New York... and its normal... until you get to the Trade Center Site. The trade center site is like 5 feet deep and construction is already on the way for a new and bigger Freedom Tower! Yep their building a new and more modern World Trade Center. Their is supposed to be a subway connection their, the Freedom Tower, wich streches 1000+ feet into the air. And a memorial for those lost on September 11th, 2004. Also there will be new dance studios and other fun things being added

But i have to express my amazement at how well the architects of the World Trade Center were. I mean the Milemium Hilton (wich is were i stayed 3 years ago) only lost a few windows! and it was across the street from the Trade Center! Wich is why these engineers and architects were so great for their time. I mean we have the technology now but they didnt and they managed to prevent something catastophic from happening. Look here at the times the planes hit the towers burned *sniff* when they collapsed... the collapsed in on themselves. instead of going out, they went in. And that is What made the World Trade Center so famouse, (aside from the fact it was the tallest building in the world).


Now as i prmised ill have some pictures posted here, as soon i download load from my camera, and you guys can see New York! (for those who dont live here {in the U.S.})
