2008 marks
the seventh anniversary of 9/11.
A major
focus of remembering 9/11 are plans for the new Freedom
Tower in downtown Manhattan that replaces the iconic World
Trade Center Twin
Towers destroyed in terrorist attacks on September 11,
2001.
Since
2001, rebuilding efforts have been halted by related safety
issues, and the painful concerns of survivor
families over the World
Trade Center Memorial.
Now, according
to most reports, construction at Ground
Zero have begin in earnest with plans for permanent footings
to be installed at the base in the coming months. With steel
framework rising above downtown by 2009, developers promise
the tallest building in New York 1,776 feet in height
to the top of the Freedom Tower's mast antenna by 2011
On the
Web, find out more about the planned reconstruction of the
World Trade Center, along with historic photos & video
