The World Trade Center sites are currently under construction. The memorial for the September 11th attacks has been temporarily moved closer to Battery Park. You can see the construction site from the Hudson. If you go to the site itself, you can see daily progress on the building. A few of the roads are closed off due to construction. There is a memorial shop where you can buy souvenirs, as well as several hot dog vendors in the area.

How did people die falling from the WTC?

While not trying to be overly cute, falling does not kill you, only the landing. People did not fall they jumped to avoid death by the flames when they could not find an exit to escape from the carnage. It was a choice that no one should be forced to make but like the passengers on the hijacked United Flight 93 who chose to fight against the terrorists these people had to make a decision.

What is the history of the World Trade Center?

The building of the World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan was a major undertaking. The plans were completed in the mid 1960s and the towers were finished in 1972. About 50,000 people worked in the buildings every day until they were destroyed on September 11, 2001.

Terror attacks have been taking place for hundreds of years. From the crusades in Jerusalem, the Kamikazes in the second world war up to modern times.

What happened to the British Telecom Tower in 1971?

So I have to do a PowerPoint presentation on the 9 11 conspiracy when it obviously wasn't a conspiracy Help?

Technically, it was a conspiracy, but not by the government, Jews, Freemasons, or anything like that. I suggest that you emphasise in your presentation that the terrorists "conspired" to hijack four planes and crash them into buildings.

If your teacher gives you a poor grade for believing in established historical fact, you should take it up with your principal, and if necessary, with your school board.

911 documentary vito after?

Award-winning documentary "VITO AFTER" at www.vitoafter.com "Vito After" takes a vital look at the 9/11 health crisis by going beyond the headlines and focusing on one NYPD detective's personal struggle. Vito Friscia is a dedicated homicide detective and devoted family man who selflessly helped others on September 11th, then spent months sifting through toxic rubble hoping to bring closure to victims' families. The film follows Friscia as he copes in the aftermath with the support of loved ones and colleagues. Through this intimate portrait of an everyday hero, we find a powerful renewal of the human spirit, and insight into the lives of thousands of responders who are paying an emotional and physical price for their bravery. Director's statement: Sadly, because tens of thousands of people are afflicted with 9/11-related illnesses, and the number of deaths continue to increase, this subject is as timely and relevant today as it was when it screened at its first film festival. The film offers a rare window into the heart and soul of a NYPD homicide detective, his family and colleagues. It is understated, yet powerful. Vito is charismatic and compelling. He typifies the multitude of 9/11 responders who may not be seriously ill now, but who have suffered, and continue to suffer emotionally and physically, unsure if their futures will be taken from them. These everyday heroes, with their inherent humility and courage, were just "doing their job." Even though their experiences continue to haunt them, they say they would do it again. I was inspired by my brother-in-law, Vito, and people like him. This film was made to honor them all.

How are Middle Eastern people living in America being treated after the bombing of the twin towers?

Most Middle Easterners live without incident. In the first few months after the attack there was an upsurge in attacks against Muslims and people who looked like Muslims (such as Sikhs or Middle Eastern Jews and Christians). However, this died down by mid-2002. The most often issue is that people will stare at individuals who wear a hijaab or traditional male clothes in the United States, but there are minimal issues.

What does Obama mean in a political cartoon of a mosque on ground zero saying you need to show them you have common ground?

I personally don't know what the actual cartoon looks like but it probably deals with someone not agreeing with the mosque being built near ground zero. In my opinion people need to let go of ignorant bigotry and stop thinking all the Muslims are to blame.

Is it OK to remember the September 11 attacks?

Not only is it OK, it's something that everyone should do. Many people, both citizens and law enforcement, gave their lives to save the lives of others, and we should always remember them.

Why do terrorists attack Jews?

Terrorists attack every ethnic and religious and cultural group, for the same reasons: they wish to cause pain and suffering on anybody not of their clique.
