Video of the Day: The Day After

Boss Tweed uploaded video from September 12, 2001 to YouTube. The film shows how the World Trade Center's remains were still burning the day after, and how people posted "Missing" signs in areas that later became makeshift memorials. The NY Sun has an article about five places in the NYC area that have become memorials, as we wait for one to be built at Ground Zero.

The NY Times also has some WTC-related present day videos: One is a tour of Ground Zero and the other is a tour of Hangar 17, where many WTC artifacts are being kept until the World Trade Center Museum is completed.

Shame on the Sun for not mentioning one of the most important, and unheralded, monuments in the city. In the side courtyard of the church on the corner of B'way and Isham is the icnonic cross from the debris pile.

I stopped by on my way home from work and prayed tonight. The lights from the tribute shining high over my head as I headed back to 207th St station.

It's Bjork, the song is called UNDO. It's off the album Vespertine which was released right before Sep 11, 2001.

Thanks for the link to the Boss Tweed video. Any idea what song that was playing near the end of the video? I liked it.

God, those fliers.

Have you seen my wife/husband/son/best friend?

In the rare moments that other images don't come to mind, I find that's the one thing I can't forget about.
