Description

This was one of the several postcards my mother and I purchased when we arrived in New York City (March 31,2000). I was actually thinking of sending this postcard to a friend back home but later on I changed my mind and sent the Empire State Building postcard instead, keeping this spectacular postcard for myself. I kept this postcard in my study table as a souvenir and a reminder of my unforgettable trip abroad. After witnessing the horror of 9/11 from cable TV (The Philippines is about 10,000 miles away from NYC), I videotaped the news for posterity and then I simply looked at my souvenir postcard, realizing how lucky I was to have seen the World Trade Center before it vanished right before our very eyes.
