WTC is up

I was going to wait until 9/11's anniversary for this but decided to update it now. 

16 years ago I responded on Thursday evening as part of an EMS Task Force from New Jersey. That night I was stationed at Liberty and South End when the FDNY brought out a brother. 

The Picture of the Lamp Post and of the Don't Walk Signal with WTC1 as the backdrop is right where I was stationed. I remember the lamp post especially. When I first saw this lamp 16 years ago, encrusted in WTC Dust, it looked like a statue. The whole area looked like a movie set, almost fake. 

While I have visited the memorial pools, it has been 16 years since I was able to bring myself to that exact spot again. Every time I go into the city I still get choked up, just going past Chelsea Piers, and into downtown.
