Yes, they were taken from the window of an office I go to for meetings.

The Freedom Tower, and many of the other buildings in the plan, have been held up by construction issues, politics, budget overruns, and general squabbling!

Yes, I thought it might be up there somwhere Oslo you can drive from one side of town to the other pretty fast when theres no traffic, that doesnt take much time. I guess NY would be a little different to drive in if everbodys nuts, I would probably do ok I dont think I would fit in any less there

How about Tokyo, what is it there, around 38,000,000 or something?

"As of October 1, 2007, the population of Tokyo is estimated to be 12.790 million, or about 10% of Japan's total population"

This is one of the most amazing photos taken on September 11th - can you imagine those poor tourists coming to New York for the first time and seeing that?

I stepped out of the subway station just north of the towers and walked a block to Murray Street, just as the second fireball was going down a little. There were chunks of the airplane and other results of the explosion that it is better not to describe. :cry:

Here is what was at Murray Street, and I realized I had to get the hell out of there immediately: :pale:
