So most people remember the disaster that happen on 9/11. We all know that New York City has a scar in Lower Manhattan. For years ground zero has been a huge hole where thousands died. Today, the story is different. Two visible towers are growing, one is the One World Trade Center and the other one is the 4 World Trade Center. The One World Trade Center will be the tallest, at 1776 feet, it will reclaim the skyline of Manhattan and claim a title of the tallest building in America. There's two more towers under construction, 2 World Trade Center and the 3 World Trade Center. Unfortunately construction on them began late and they are still laying foundations on them. Also on the site, there is a couple of memorial pools, the biggest in the country. These pools have been placed exactly where the Twin Towers stood, with that; the pool will be surrounded by many trees. Right underneath that is the Museum, which will open around 2012-2013. Construction will still take at least half a decade before everything is complete. In the end these will be the towers to represent New York, America and her constant pride.
