Title

2008.jpeg

Description

We visited the WTC site the day after Thanksgiving, 2001. This picture was taken when we had walked around the outer limits of the site and gotten to Broadway, courtesy the height of my husband. Even still, he had to hold up the camera over the crowd of people standing in front of him to get the picture. Where the other side of the site was quiet and mournful, the Broadway side was an absolute circus. People were lined up and down the street selling anything with the WTC images, NYPD or FDNY printed on it. People were flowing over the sidewalks into traffic to catch a glimpse.
It was at this point that we had had enough. We went into Trinity Church for some peace, quiet and prayerful reflection.
