My Uncle Norman went to "Ground Zero" today and took some pictures. He wrote me an eamil on what he thought of his day. I just thought I would share it with you.

I just came back from the World Trade Center, "Ground Zero" if you
will. I
took 25 pictures and I am going to send them now. First, I hope you
don't
mind some observations from me.
First thing you notice when you arrive on the scene are the 100s of
people
selling things. Tee shirts, books, pictures all the crude and nasy
things we
Americans can come up with to sell. I swear if NY Ciry was nuked the
tee
shirts would be for sale in New Jersey within a week. The second thing
is all
the people milling around, big video camers, still cameras all types of
cameras. All looking up at nothing, looking up at what was once there
trying
to visualize what what there, what happened. But the most important
thing is
the silence. Very little laughing, almost none of that, even just
general
chatter was subdued and respectful. It was eerie for NY. People from
all over
the world were there along with TV crews from everywhere as well. I
guess
because of the aniversary. Lots of TV interviews going on amoungst the
crowd.
If you didn't know what happened there you would think this was just
another
construction site, all the debris was gone. But you do know what
happened
here and I was touched.
Total mindless hatred did this. Will total mindless hatred solve it?
