Ten years on, World Trade Center regains place in New York skyline

For people who have an intimate connection with the New York skyline, the absence of the Twin Towers after the 9/11 attacks has overshadowed the last decade. Now, as the new towers finally begin to take shape, the skyline has again been altered. When it's complete, One World Trade will be the tallest building in the Western hemisphere -- 1,776 feet high. More than 80 floors of a planned 105 stories are now complete, with glass encasing some 60 stories. Some 3,400 workers are at the site around the clock. The national memorial -- two reflecting pools seated in the footprints of the original towers -- will open in time for the 10th anniversary this weekend.

Can all you people complaining about America and other countries please just stop and just respect all the people who died on 9/11.

@Born2Flesh My father died of 9-11 related illness and died in the line of Duty (FDNY). Now the GOVERNMENT pays me, so why lose money to go to war and lose even more money? Right now, the world despises you, and the wold knows how cold hearted you are. We will all make sure Beelzebub has a table set aside for you. So go and do some research on this subject, then get back to me. Sincerely, an 8th grade student from upstate New York.

@Born2Flesh This pussy here, B2Flesh, is a disgrace to The US, Great Britain, and every country who lost a civilian that day. 9-11 was the plot of al-Queda, whose mainline fundraiser was Osama bin Laden, a millionare. The U.S. government had been warned about 9/11, but we thought it was a different one, so we let our guard down. Tell me, if it was an inside job- why did countless FBI, CIA, and SWAT men & women ran into the fray? Son, I'd go watch those wids again, and try to compensate for lag(:
