Advantages: Were a monument to human acheivement

Disadvantages: -

It surprised me how the Twin towers of the World Trade Center has affected the lives of so many people around the world. It seems we all know someone who worked, visited or knew someone there.

My parents next door neighbors had relatives who worked there, they had been up the top as well on a visit to New York. A customer of mine had a friend killed in the tragedy. Someone who went to the school down the road, was also killed in the tragic event last month.

Without realising it, the twin towers were always a part of my consciousness. Whenever I looked at photos of New York, there they were. Sometimes noticed, but, quite often not. Referred often by the media as a great monument to human ingenuity and resourcefulness, and a coming together of all nationalities, ....I never really took a great deal of notice. They just seemed to go on living day after day, huge pillars of power and prosperity.

Little did I know, or any of us know, that they were only temporary and would never live a fraction of their natural life span.

I wished I had observed them more, now. We'll never see them again. Something will be rebuilt there, but, the Twin towers that were there, are now only memories.

The ideals that they stood for, are still burning in the hearts of many, and this will probably mean that what's built in it's place will hold the same, but, probably more significance than ever.
