A September 11 Survivor's World Trade Center Walking Tour

亮点

行程

1. 1

   St. Paul's Chapel

   This little chapel is incredibly rich in not only September 11 history, but American and NYC history as well. *Originally Church Of England, it predates the United States by about a decade. *The original Great Seal of the United States (E PLURIBUS UNUM) hangs on its wall. *A service was said for guest of honor George Washington on the day of his inauguration in 1789. *All of the windows are original from 1766. Find out why none broke on September 11, despite virtually every other window breaking for blocks around! *Firemen and engineers who cleaned up Ground Zero slept here until May of 2002. *A Revolutionary general, born in Ireland and killed in action in Quebec, is entombed here, in the first American national monument. I can't express how awesome a place this is.

   The firefighters' bronze memorial is on the wall of 10 House, home of Ladder 10 and Pumper 10. Six men from this firehouse -- literally across the street from the World Trade Center -- are among the 343 who lost their lives that day.

   Each year on September 11, American flags are run up the flagpole above 10 House, saluted by members of the US armed forces, and given to members of the families.

   Roosevelt Island

   The American National September 11 Memorial is a 16-acre campus featuring a pair of 1-acre waterfalls. They face inward, the water disappearing from view as the victims have disappeared from our lives. Both are surrounded by panels inscribed with the names of all the dead; nearly 3000. Your guide will show you which groups of victims are arranged on both sets of waterfalls. If you have loved one among those who passed, tell us in advance so we can take you to the proper panel. You will also be taken to the new memorial that opened in 2019. This more simple memorial honors those who have died of the aftereffects of the Attacks, and those who have yet to die. And we will stop by the Survivor Tree. It is one of the few survivors, found alive a month after The Attacks. You'll be shown the branches of new growth since that time. Nearby, see Fritz Koenig's damaged but unbroken sculpture, World Trade. And a scion of the chestnut tree that Anne Frank admired in "The Diary Of A Young Girl." Also, the future Greek Orthodox basilica of Saint Nikolas. You will be shown the *very* last photo of the original church, with the burning towers looming overhead.

   We will walk a ped bridge over the West Side Highway: More than 20 years later, damage to this bridge made on September 11 is still visible! The eastern end of the bridge was snapped off on that day. In the years after, a park was created at the exact height of the bridge. We walk from the 11 Tears Memorial, across this bridge, and into the elevated park. We will view the Fritz Koenig sculpture The Sphere, which was originally placed in a plaza between the Twin Towers, as well as a scion from the chestnut tree written about in Anne Frank's diary, and the new Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Nicholas.

   The oldest Catholic church in the State of New York, Saint Peter's of 1804 is right across the street from The World Trade Center. The first known victim of that day, a priest, was laid on the altar moments after death.
