	Geotimes - November 2001 World Trade Center site
		The three-foot thick slurry wall surrounds the periphery of the basin of the site and extends down roughly 60 or 70 feet, where it is socketed into rock - mica schist.
		When the twin towers of the World Trade Center crashed down, so too crumbled the six supporting floors, "so the slabs are not there, the floors are not there, but the debris is doing what the floors used to do," says Daniel Hahn, senior associate engineer at the consulting company Mueser Rutledge.
		Hahn says, "When they built the World Trade Center, the first thing that they did is build the slurry walls and excavated all the material inside that was added up to Greenwich Street." In its place went underground transportation and the WTC basement.

	A New World Trade Center Site Plan
		My proposal for the reconstruction of the site was designed specifically to respect with reverence the wishes of the victims' families while revitalizing the Lower Manhattan community and the economic and cultural strengths and symbolism of New York City internationally.
		It symbolically refers to the city's continuous historic foundation on maritime trade and the developments of modern transportation from the outside, while within the memorial plaza area a full-scale image of the original WTC towers for the visiting public makes constant reference to the tragic history of the site.
		If this option were to be realized, then both footprint areas at the trade center site could be dedicated to contemplative spaces, a chapel for the victims' families, a space for the preservation of artifacts from the disaster, as well as a center for the study of the roots of terrorist acts and their prevention.

	World Trade Center site - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World Trade Center site is the 16-acre (6.47-hectare) real estate on which the WTC complex stood in New York until the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
		The site is located in lower Manhattan island and most of the site (where its buildings except 7WTC were located) is bounded to the north by Vesey Street, to the west by the West Side Highway, to the south by Liberty Street and to the east by Church Street.
		The lease for the site and its rebuilding was purchased in July 2001 by Silverstein Properties Inc. owner Larry Silverstein from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) for $3.2 billion.

	World Trade Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The World Trade Center in New York City (sometimes informally referred to as the WTC or the Twin Towers) was a complex of seven buildings, mostly designed by Japanese American architect Minoru Yamasaki and developed by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
		The 208 feet (63.4 m) wide facade was, in effect, a prefabricated steel lattice, with columns on 39 inch (100 cm) centers acting as wind bracing to resist all overturning forces; the central core took the majority of the gravity loads of the building.
		The World Trade Center name will continue to be used as name of the site, as will the New York City Subway and PATH train stations that serve the complex.

		The World Trade Center site, also known as Ground Zero or The Pile, is the large plot of land on which the World Trade Center complex of New York City stood until the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack.
		Donald Trump raised eyebrows in May 2005 when he endorsed rebuilding the site with the Twin Towers 2 alternative rebuilding plan, and in June 2005 was one of the first to sign its petition to encourage Pataki, Bloomberg, Silverstein, and the Port Authority to re-think the unpopular Freedom Tower design and consider rebuilding the towers.
		Currently, the World Trade Center site is accessible by subway and PATH trains at the new—and temporary—World Trade Center station.

	World Trade Center - New York City
		The Trade Center was the target of another terrorist strike eight years ago, a car bomb that damaged the building and caused casualties but did not bring either of the towers down.
		Located in downtown Manhattan, the World Trade Center is on a 16 acre site, stretching from Church Street on the east to West Street on the west, and Vesey and Barclay streets in the north to Liberty Street on the south.
		The decision to build the World Trade Center was made in 1961, with the unveiling of the building plans in 1964, the commencement of site excavation in 1966, and the steel construction phase beginning in 1968.

		The twin towers of the World Trade Center dominated the skyline of Manhattan Island from the time they were completed in 1973 until that fateful day of September 11, 2001 when two passenger aircraft under the control of terrorist hijackers crashed into the towers.
		As the world watched, the towers were engulfed in flame until they each collapsed into mountains of rubble and took the lives of nearly 3000 people including 350 brave rescue workers.
		It is a large open area where the ghostly footprints of the twin towers are slowly becoming obliterated by the new construction.

		The fuming World Trade Center debris pile was a chemical factory that exhaled pollutants in particularly dangerous forms that could penetrate deep into the lungs of workers at Ground Zero, says a new study by UC Davis air-quality experts.
		When the trade center towers burned and collapsed, tons of concrete, glass, furniture, carpets, insulation, computers and paper were reduced to enormous, oxygen-poor debris piles that slowly burned until Dec. 19, 2001.
		At the three sites closest to Ground Zero where samples for the study were collected, the levels of sulfur, which indicates the presence of diesel pollution, were much higher than at uptown sites.

		Fortunately, the site is large enough to accommodate all of these components as well as meeting the contractual needs of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to replace the 11 million square feet of commercial and retail space that had existed on the site.
		Proposals to restore the traditional street pattern that had been disrupted by the World Trade Center should be ignored as Lower Manhattan does not have, nor require, a traditional grid pattern and that is one of its charms and is far too restrictive for the site's redevelopment.
		The World Trade Center overpowered that skyline completely and rather contemptuously, but its gleaming facades and its twin towers were undeniably forceful and often beautiful from afar.

		Similarly, integrating the memorial experience into all of lower Manhattan, if this becomes a goal, involves broad array of issues: the potential desire for several sites; view corridors to memorial sites; the nature of the pedestrian experience as one approaches the memorial(s) and other, subtle ways in with the memorial may be revealed.
		Other issues include the scale, location, and uses of buildings on the site and their relationship to existing or proposed open spaces - and, of course, the question of whether and what kind of towers should be built on the site - which you can have your say about on the forums.
		The spectrum of opinion on the future of the WTC site runs between a) preserving this space as "hallowed or sacred ground" and b) rebuilding fully as a statement about American democracy and civilization.
