USS New York Arrives in New York

On 11/02/09 the USS New York arrived from Lousiana. The commissioning of the vessel will take place later in the week. The construction of the vessel incorporated seven tons of steel from the World Trade Towers destroyed in the September 11, 2009 terrorist attacks. Major elements of the ship are its two towers which are symbolic of the World Trade Center's twin towers.

The footage was taken from the New Jersey side of the Hudson River at Harborside in Jersey City. Lower Manhattan is in the background, and the vessel stopped briefly adjacent the area of the WTC center terrorists attacks to honor the memory of those who died on September 11, 2001 with a 21-gun salute.

One of the reasons I love your channel. You post some of the coolest things from your side of our Country that I would LOVE to see live! Touching of them with the 21 gun salute to honor those who lost their lives in the WTC attacks this day.

thanks Mary! its really a privilege to see these events. As you see there were numerous servicemen there as well.

You're welcome. A lot goes on the East Coast. I'd really love to visit NY someday! WTC attacks affected us deeply here too....as throughout the Country. A mother and daughter that was well known in our community was on one of those planes (on their way home) I believe. They lived less than 5 miles from us.
