This was sent to me from I guy I worked with in the 80s. We worked together on a job in tower 1 for 9 months. Below is what replaced those buildings -
If you haven't seen this it's good. I haven't visited yet but was offered a job to assemble some cabinets being delivered however they were requiring OSHA training and a certificate before subbing me and I turned it down. One of these days I'll get there

Very nice, thanks for posting Steve, so much more to experience than when we visited the old Trade Center (even went on the roof), but it's not likely we'll spend the $32.00 per person admission this time around (I think it was free in the old building), especially after the cost of getting there,parking etc.

Amazing how far it has come in just a few short years. This was our hotel view of ground zero in 2012

Amazing for sure considering the effort to get anything done in the City. The underground work took way longer than above. Those residence buildings you saw on the other side of the West Side Highway are addresses for frequent service calls for me.
I like visiting the City but I'd never live in Manhattan.

I have to agree. I've been to the top of many buildings. Empire State, Rockefeller Center, Chrysler in NY. Sears and John Hancock in Chicago. The experience at all of them was a little over-rated, and definitely over-priced. And the long lines were an absolute beating. Hell, at Rockefeller Center, there was an exasperatingly long line just to LEAVE.
