World Trade Center
NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 30: A police officer stands guard of a building on Park Place in lower Manhattan where a piece of one of the planes destroyed in the September 11 attacks has been discovered on April 30, 2013 in New York City. The Medical Examiners office is searching the area for human remains. The part of the plane, a support structure from a trailing edge flap found on the wing of a Boeing 767, was discovered wedged between a mosque site and luxury high-rise apartment building, about three blocks north from the World Trade Center site.

Lower Manhattan – especially the World Trade Center neighborhood – is destined to be an important tourist and commercial center for the world, and the plan that Verizon is proposing is in concert with that grand vision for the area ... Our long-term vision for our building preserves its historic character while complementing the thriving economy and community in lower Manhattan.More quotes »
