Just remembered this: I don’t recall exactly when I took the photo below, but it would have been around 1999-2000. I’d taken my then teenage son to the WTC with the intention of going up to the top to see the view.

I’m not a fan of elevators and the lines were ridiculously long, so since we didn’t feel like waiting, I just took a couple of photos from the foot of the South Tower to try to convey a sense of how incredibly tall they were when looking at them from the ground. I figured we could always come back and go up another time. *sigh*

Looking at the photo now, I can’t decide if I’m glad or sad that I never made it up there. I rarely look at it these days because instead of being filled with amazement & wonder at the height, all I can think of is how long a fall it would have been for the poor souls who jumped. *choke, shudder*

SOB terrorists destroyed so many things that day.
