Please remove the 9/11 plaza photo, or at least make it a link with a warning. There are splattered remains visible in it.
I don't see anything wrong with the photo in question. I think you're looking at building debris. This photo was taken from too high up and too far away to be able to make out human remains. It's an historic and stunning photograph and I'm glad its being shown here.

There are remains dotting the area around the North Tower, sadly. That pic is very disturbing, but I agree, very historical in its own way.

Yeah, now that you mentioned it Patrick, I can see what appears to be a spot of red (pool of blood) near the foot of the North Tower. Possibly from one of the people who jumped out and took their own lives.
Whenever I see pictures of the old World Trade Center I get this feeling of dread and feel like I'm going to be sick. I don't think I'll ever get over it. I don't look at pictures of the old WTC. Have a nice day.
That picture really makes you take a step back. When I saw it, it took me a few seconds to realize what was going on, and then it hit me. No matter how many years go by, there are still some times I question if it happened or not. It's just one of those things that you'd see in a movie or a nightmare, that you'd never (in a million years) think it would happen.
I have two pictures of the WTC in the Downtown skyline in my room (at my home) that whenever I look at I ask myself, Did that really happen, I mean is that really possible? Of course I know the answer, but hell, it's just one of those things that'll always leave an impact and a question mark in your head.

I still cant believe these buildings are gone. They did not deserved this. They become victims of politics. Skyscraper lovers and architect around the world are victims too. They took us what we loved and still love. WTC
Thank you for those pics. You can see the concourse being connected to each of the towers, and the plaza stone being placed above it in the 6th picture.

People can and probably will argue for decades to come about whether the Twins or the new WTC towers have the better impact on the skyline. But I think there can be little doubt that the streetscape around the original Twins was dreary and lifeless compared to the new promenade, memorial park, and just generally the better integration of the new complex into the surrounding urban fabric.
^^^^^^
I disagree, I prefer the original WTC streetscape setup. And for me the Twins were everything New York. There couldn't have been a better fit. They were perfect in every way shape and form, and I consider them the flagship for my favorite architectural style.
It would be nice to see them again, but I'm sure I will warm up to the knew buildings over time, but nothing will ever come close to replacing them.

of course they will always be missed, and the whole thing was a terrible tragedy...but no matter how many pictures I look at, I still think the WTC was just ugly. Of course I mean no disrespect...everything else aside...I have always tried to like them, let them grow on me, but all I see is ugly. Ugly or not, I do wish they were still there of course.
