9/11 Memorial and Julliard- in one day.

Because of General Conference this coming weekend, the Manhattan Temple will be closed on Saturday.  There are many who are coming to the temple this week because of that and many families of our Missionaries are here to visit.  It must be Spring Break in Utah and Idaho.
Since we are members of the 9/11 Memorial, we decided to go back again and spend more time visiting the Memorial and taking more of it in.

 Remains of one of the many fire trucks from Ground Zero.,,the front...

...and the back.

 This steel beam was designated as the last column removed from the clean-up...the end of the recovery effort.  It weighs a mere 58 tons.  The total clean-up was more than 1.3 million TONS and took only an incredible 9 months to remove.

 This is part of the Antenna that was atop the North Tower, as seen below-

 

This shows the massive destruction and force.  This is one I-beam that was bent like a twig.

The South Tower memorial pool.  The spot where the South Tower stood before it collapsed after being struck by Flight 93 on September 11, 2001.

 The Freedom Tower from the front and base.

 This magnificent structure, named 'The Freedom Tower', stands tall and strong.

There is a lot going on in this area and more contstruction.  You have to proud of being an American and seeing how we bounce back and move forward.

We had to take this photo of a Podiatry Doctor's Office. This was for our son, Willis, who is in Podiatry school. With all the walkers in this town, I'm sure business is booming!

We weren't home 15 minutes from the morning's adventures when we got a call from a couple to meet them at the Alice Tully Hall next door to the Julliard School in 10 minutes. (It is located across the street from our apartment.)  A free orchestra recital was being held, and we didn't want to miss it.

Inside the Hall listening to students of Julliard. It was actually a 'lab' or test for two student conductors. Their professors were sitting in the balcony seats close to the stage listening and writing. The amateur conductors did a fine job with their students. The music was incredible. I would have given them an A++ !
