Ground Zero and Beyond

Taking the sub, I reach ground zero.

I still remember that fateful incident many years ago. I was due to sit for an important exam the next day and it was the first time I came to know the term ‘terrorist’.

It’s sad and the world came to learn about the pain that a thoughtless act can inflict.

Here, we remember those who lost their lives in the 2001 September 11 incident.

The only part of the building that was left standing was this sculpture entitled “The Sphere”.

The mood was sombre and you can see people paying their respects to those who lost their lives in this tragic accident.

The Manhattan skyline was never the same again.

And from across this site, at Liberty island…

The soft light cast by the midday sunlight makes Manhattan appear so serene as if the accident has never occurred.

As the statue of Liberty looks on, let’s all remember those who bravely battled to save lives and lost their own. Let’s also pray for the families who have lost a loved one in 9/11 and may the Lord comfort them.
