 I know there will be some who argue that the WTC is not a monument. I feel it is as one will always be reminded of 9/11 when they see this building.
It wasn't until I was editing the picture that I notice that the small speck at 2:00 was a passenger jet. An eerie feeling came over me as we all who remember that day will never forget the images burned into our minds.
