Work Starts on the New WTC


Finally they have gotten 'round to re-building after September 11. I feel this is incredibly important, especially as a way of telling terrorists that the US have moved on. I think re-building should have started earlier... this is good news, and proves America is finally healing. Two September 11 movies are out this year, "United 93", about the flight that crashed into the field and Oliver Stone's "World Trade Centre", focussing on the firefighters role.

The planned project is quite impressive:

At 1,776 feet tall, the tower will be the tallest structure in New York, casting a beam of light from its peak. Five towers will rise from the 16-acre site by 2012, joining a memorial and transit hub scheduled to open in 2009, and a performing arts center.
