Ground Zero Ten Years After

To commemorate the 10th year anniversary of that heart breaking moment of 9/11, the US government with the help of the New York City governance put in place a Memorial Pool at Ground Zero.

Ground Zero

Once a black hole of despair, the place where the world Trade Center in New York crashed before our very eyes will now become the 9/11 Memorial at Ground Zero, a site which millions once associated with death, devastation and abject terror but has now transformed into a place of peace, tranquillity and sadness. 

Here are some photos taken the morning of September 11 in U.S. at ground zero memorial pool and park. (from AP, AFP, Reuters , and Xinhua)

The names of the departed are engraved on the sides of the pool.  The pool is not meant for swimming its actually an overflowing waterfall, signifying the unending and the million tears shed during, before and after 9/11.

This one is their future plans for Ground Zero.

Ground Zero in the future

My heart and prayers goes to the families, relatives and friends of  those who lost  a loved in 9/11 10 years ago.  I know it was long ago but the pain still remains.
