Created by Walter Goralski It might seem odd to create an elaborate remembrance to something that happened only 10 years ago. However, the most important people to reach about the events of Tuesday, September 11, 2001 were not even born when these events took place. And like most young people, anything that happened before they were born is ancient history, as far in the past as the pyramids or the Revolutionary War. To them, the attack on and collapse of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center (WTC) in New York City on 9/11 might be preserved as some kind of old “News of the Day!” feature, a grainy newsreel shown down at the Bijou. © Walter Goralski 2011 Made with Xara Or perhaps 9/11 was something watched by the family in the living room huddled around one of those old TVs, right after I Love Lucy. But no, that would be wrong. 9/11 was something that astonished all who witnessed it, impacted the lives of victims and survivors, and continues to affect the lives of Americans far beyond the events of that day in New York, at the Pentagon, and in a field in Pennsylvania. I hope to convey a bit of the feel of the events of 9/11 in New York City through the photographs of my son, a student who was an eyewitness, a tribute assembled on September 28th of 2001 from photos available on the Internet, a 12-minute video filmed on Sunday, October 7, 2001 when the tip of Manhattan was reopened for the first time for normal traffic, and revelations years later from an unlikely source.
