[DMCForum] Re: Village Idiot Returns (What really hit the pentagon)

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Forgot to mention: my fire department buddy and I also went to the
World Trade Center in New York. By then all the dust had been cleaned
up (only pile we saw was on top of a phone booth). Lobby fascade of
the South Tower(?) was about to be torn down, after which nothing was
visible from the street above the construction fences. We walked the
entire perimeter of the site. In addition to all the memorials at
Trinity Church, there were many (much less visited -- most people were
congregating along Broadway) near the Battery Park marina (where all
those terraces and steps are). One of them had portraits of every
missing firefighter. Very large, as extensive as a school student body
display. Sobering and sad. Selfishly makes me glad my buddy was in DC.
