Here’s what the World Trade Center site looks like now, ahead of Friday Sep 11,2015’s 14th anniversary of the terrorist attacks
The observatory at One World Trade Center is opening to the public
Friday, providing visitors with a view that stretches 50 miles.
Reaching 1,776 feet into the sky, the building is the tallest in the U.S. The observatory takes up floors 100, 101 and 102 of the tower.
Admission costs $32 for adults, but is free to all family members of 9/11 victims and to rescue and recovery workers who responded to ground zero
The tower will rise 1,270 ft. (387 m), the second tallest of the new World Trade Center buildings, when it opens in 2020
In the space where the Twin Towers once stood, waterfalls now rush into two enormous square memorial pools.
The pools are ringed with bronze
panels inscribed with the names of all the 9/11 victims, as well as
those who were killed in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Beneath the tree-shaded memorial plaza is an underground museium with multimedia exhibits that tell the story of 9/11 and its aftermath
