sad sad sad. But let it have been the contractors familys in those buildings. This shyt would have been done. Ive seen land appear with homes in the middle of the ocean faster. Ill be a old man when this shyt is done and i was a 21 yo when I witnessed this uncomprehendable incident from the brooklyn promanade.

the architecture firm that is doing the memorial is terrible. They are developer architects. I am sure this thing will be a disaster.

With the state of the economy right now it's more like 2020.

this is what happens when you contract the mob to do construction work. The original WTC took took only 2 years to construct for the first north tower and 3 years for the south tower! if you add in the groundbreaking in 1966 and the finished product in 1972 then you had 2 towers completed in 6 years from scratch. these are just motherfucking footprints and it's taking more than ten years.

@thenebula, thanks, I did (and it's now changed). And I agree that 2012 seems optimistic, what with all the different parties involved.

I think you mean 9/11/11 in the title. But anyways, it'll probably be open with just the frames of the tower footprints and that's it. At the pace of construction, 2012 may even be optimistic. The whole thing will just be a giant construction site through 2015 at least.
