One World Trade Center is the primary building of the new World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City, and the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere.[9] The 104-story supertall structure stands on the northwest corner of the 16-acre (6.5 ha) World Trade Center site, on the site of the original 6 World Trade Center. On March 30, 2009, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey confirmed that the building would be known by its legal name, One World Trade Center, rather than the colloquial name, Freedom Tower.[1]
The tower's steel structure topped out on August 30, 2012.[3][11] On May 10, 2013, the final component of the skyscraper's spire was installed, making One World Trade Center the fourth-tallest skyscraper in the world at the time by pinnacle height. Its spire reaches a symbolic height of 1,776 feet (541 m) in reference to the year of the United States Declaration of Independence.[12][13][14] It has been the tallest structure in New York City since April 30, 2012, when it surpassed the height of the Empire State Building.
St. Paul's Chapel-- a Sanctuary at Ground Zero, after 9/11.
This small chapel is right across the street from the where the Twin Towers stood.
Many sought refuge there. It was a somber, yet somehow, comforting feeling inside, for me.

Ground Zero, memorial pools, and the names of the 2,996
murdered Americans. We will not Forget.
Brandi and I felt the unbelievable, senseless, loss of so many.
The building and Architecture, is truly a "Modern Marvel".

I loved hearing your thoughts and feelings as they were so fresh from your excursions with Brandi!
Touching. Life is fragile.
Terrorists are evil!
Mankind's WAR for power and sovereignty always is senseless and leaves a person wondering will this mindlessness ever stop?
Yes, it will, but only by means of God's Kingdom, in the hands of Christ Jesus as King! Then he will fight a righteous warfare against only those who oppose his righteous kingdom for the benefit of all the faithful and obedient supporters who say by word and action: "Let Your Kingdom Come, on earth as it is in heaven!"
