9/11
While we were visiting, we saw where the twin towers once stood. The twin towers are replaced by two beautiful memorial fountains. Around the fountain you can see all the names of the people who passed away during 9/11. I saw a man and a woman with a strip of white paper. They covered their loved one's name, and shaded it with a black crayon. This made a print of the name so they could keep it with them forever.
When I saw this, I felt sad because so many people died. Even through the sadness and hurt, new Yorkers pushed out of gloominess and stayed optimistic. In place of the twin towers, there is now 5 skyscrapers, the Oculus, The September 11th Memorial and the World Trade Center Museum. Another cool fact I learned in NYC is the USS NY LPD21 SHIP and a cross was built out of the steel from the twin towers.
Something I learned when I was there, is that there was a church called St. Paul's Chapel. During this disaster, not one single thing happened to this blessed church. Everything around the church was destroyed, but not a single window on the church was cracked. So thats good!
9/11 was a very scary time, but I'm glad to NYC has found hope.
