Day 2: 9/11 memorial and museum

I went to the memorial where the towers once stood. It was a really beautiful scene.. with all the names of the loves lost carved in around a big sqaure waterfall fountain looking thing was really breathtaking. I was sceptical about paying to go into museum but think brodie told me it was a must so i did. Very glad i did! I downloaded the app and had earphones on me so got to listen to Robert De Niro give me a tour of the place. It was really surreal.. you see beams where the plane crashed into, the foundation of the towers where they stood are still there, you enter this memorial bit where it has photos and names of all the lives lost. There touch screens where you can scroll through and click on someone and it has more photos and details of their life. You walk in another section and its video just going through one person at a time with family and friends talking about them, near the end you go into a big timelime sorta set up it has details on every thing from stsrt to finish. It shows video's of the news on the time it happened you can listen to audio of peoples voices on the plane delivering messages to loved ones and the police you can even hear the terrorists speaking in some directing the passangers. Telling them they are only going back to the airport. It was a really good experience.. glad i done it.Read more
