[QUOTE="Eatsleeptrap, post: 496991, member: 7577"] Made the trip to New York City in 2019 for our 30th anniversary. The hotel we stayed at was a Marriott 1.5 blocks south of ground zero. When we checked in, I asked the older lady if this building was standing on September 11th. She stopped typing, paused, then looked at me and said Yes with a sadness that was indescribable. The reflecting pools and etched names were hard, but the museum under the pools was damn near impossible. You can walk under the pools and that area has pictures of the victims from that tower and recorded voices of family members reading their names. I made it about 20 feet in and had to turn around. Everyone has been to a cemetery. It's a somber experience. Only a handful of cemeteries in the US contain the remains of thousands all killed on the same day. This is the only one where those killed were completely and utterly defenseless civilians, many of whom are interred on site in a special section only family has access to. Make the trip if you can.
