Today, I was at headquarters, which is located at 3 World Financial Center directly across the street from where the World Trade Center towers stood. The board dining room, where our event was held, is on the 50th floor and directly overlooks the now vacant block. There was damage to 3WFC and it was closed for repairs from September 2001 to May 2002. I can barely imagine the horror witnessed and experienced by my colleagues on that September morning as they watched the towers destroyed. It's always a poignant moment. (Above: The view of the 3 WFC building from the observatory of the now destroyed World Trade Center.)
On the site of the former twin towers, the construction of Freedom Tower has begun. See the depiction of what it will look like when it's completed. (a little perspective, 3WFC has the green top pyramid on the left of the picture) To monitor progress of the build, visit Project Rebirth.
