Status of World Trade Center Site 11 Years Later
Office towers, transportation hub under way at World Trade Center site 11 years later
By The Associated Press
Eleven years after terrorists attacked the World Trade Center, the new multibillion-dollar World Trade Center once again dominates the lower Manhattan skyline. Hundreds of construction workers are at the 16-acre site every day, and tourists snap thousands of photos of the two towers that are nearing completion.
The status of the trade center's major components, according to developers:
— Most of the 8-acre memorial quadrangle at the World Trade Center opened last year on the 10th anniversary of the attacks. Since then, 4.5 million people have visited the memorial, with its twin reflecting pools where the towers stood. But a museum being built in a cavern beneath the plaza is still incomplete. Work all but stopped last fall because of a funding dispute between the memorial foundation and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, but on Monday the two parties announced an agreement that will pave the way for its eventual completion. Joseph Daniels, president of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, said that once construction resumes it will take more than a year to finish the job, meaning the museum might not open until 2014.

Michelle Obama whispers to Obama at 911 Event: All this just for the Flag and Shakes her head
This is must see video which has gone viral on the internet. First Lady Michelle Obama seems to be mouthing “all of this just for the flag” to her husband at the 9/11 memorial ceremony on Sunday.
President Obama and his wife are a national embarrassment! This couple has vacationed all over the world, shut down New York City so
they can go on a date and she has the nerve to disrespect the loss of life on September 11th.
Please share this video with everyone.

New York's Ground Zero: Crowds, Chaos and Some Closure
By: Kayla Webley
There was perhaps no place more fitting to go than the place where it all began. As President Obama wrapped up his remarks, confirming the death of public enemy No.1, Osama bin Laden, a few people started to gather at New York's Ground Zero. They kept coming. By the time a man shimmied up a light post around midnight and sprayed bottles of champagne over the crowd, several hundred people had gathered.
The word for the night was 'closure.' It sprung from almost every persons' lips who came to the hallowed ground of the World Trade Center to mark an end of sorts to our nation's most painful open wound. While capturing bin Laden won't likely change much of the operations of al-Qaeda, tonight that didn't matter. What mattered was the people who gathered to celebrate the conquering of the person who killed many of this city's loved ones.

 |
| Silverstein, Ward, Bloomberg |
Nine years after the September 11th attacks, the long-delayed redevelopment of Ground Zero finally has gained momentum. There are now tangible signs of progress with thousands of tradesmen working on the completion of the World Trade Center buildings. The steel framing of One World Trade Center is now visible. "All you simply have to do is look outside and see what is happening," Said Port Authority Executive Director Chris Ward. "There is long and difficult work ahead, we will look back and say this was the beginning," Continued Ward.

Nine Years After 9/11
By Bob Grant
Here it is . . . nine years since America was cruelly and viciously attacked by 19 fanatical, hate-filled Muslims.
They may not have represented every Muslim in the world, but the Japanese dive bomber and fighter plane pilots did not represent every Japanese person when they attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, “a day which will live in infamy,” according to President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
And even though those Jap pilots did not represent all Japanese, hundreds of thousands of those Japanese were rounded up and placed in internment camps for the duration of the war.
