Icons - WTC

2009.08.27

The first time I went up the World Trade Centre was in January 2000 - it was a bitterly cold day and afterwards when I went on the boat across the Hudson I took this picture of the towers across the ice-strewn river.

The last time I visited the WTC was 7 days before the attack which destroyed them.

KerBear This is a beautiful shot. I always wish I had made it there to see them. I was supposed to visit NYC for the very first time as part of a school trip and we were to leave on September 25, 2001... of course we never made it. My first visit ended up being September 2007. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous shot...

smbunation Very good story. I myself never had the opportunity to see this magnificent structure. Thank you so much for this post which I believe pays a beautiful tribute.

Widcat The photo is beautiful. I can only imagine how stunned you must have been on 9/11 when you had just been there.

redro I waited to go first check on my passport and then write.
I saw and went up the WTC for the first and the last time in the late Fall of 2000. I always liked the buildings, although their simplicity doesn't make them so unique. But the twin formula worked wonderfully...They look so great surrounded by the old city ....
New York will never be the same without them. I cried That day.

redro Sorry, I made a mistake in writing, it was the fall of 1999, not 2000.
