One World Trade center

In the two times I have visited New York City, going to the One World Trade Center is always at the top of my list. Not only is it the 6th tallest building in the world, it’s also a testament to the resilience of New Yorkers and Americans alike. When the Twin Towers fell in 2001, we lost almost 3,000 people. The outside of One WTC has a dedicated fountain memorial with the names of every victim engraved in it. If you walk around the fountain, there’s complete silence as visitors remember the events of 9/11 and the lives lost. The fountain is in the exact same spot where the original towers once stood, and it looks up to the new One WTC. I remember feeling awestruck and overwhelmed as I looked up at the building. It creates an environment in which everyone can connect to the structure and to everyone around them.
