World One
Last Saturday I met Ben and Ashley Wagenbach in the city. We went up
World One and then visited the 9-11 Museum. It was Ashley's idea to go
up World One, and I'm glad she suggested it. On a clear day the horizon
extends for 45 miles. Wasn't quite "clear" last Saturday, but it was
still an impressive view, just a gray one.
I hope to return in 50 years, on the 50th Anniversary of the World One Observatory. I want to come back to see what has changed. The price of a ticket compared to 50 years ago. Maybe the whole thing will be digitalized and there will be booths that you can click on a picture and you'll "fly" out from the Observatory and "hoover" over what you wanted to see closer. Or maybe we'll all have flying vehicles by that time rendering a World One Observatory useless, and it'll be shut down before it even gets to it's 50th birthday. Either way... I wonder what will happen to those wine bottles.
The only picture I got of Ben and Ashley! :/
Looking down on the 9-11 Memorial
Even the Empire State Building looks small from here.
Brooklyn, Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges over the East River
Slurry Wall. 9-11 Museum.
Twisted metal. 9-11 Museum.
Look for the Silver Lining.
Much Love.
