What To Expect

Learn how the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and 9/11 terrorist attacks affected not only the Ground Zero area but also the adjacent neighborhood. Join this audio tour narrated by a woman who experienced the first and eyewitnessed the latter. Together, you will explore the entire WTC complex and the surroundings from her intimate perspective.Begin the journey at the WTC Station underground where thousands of people like her used to come to work. Then, enter the new One WTC to hear the story of how she fled from the 65th floor of the old one veiled with heavy smoke on Feb. 26, 1993. Instead of the pedestrian, destroyed in the 9/11 attacks, take an escalator to the Winter Garden atrium, the author's healing place. From there, walk the sky bridges that helped her grow stronger as she would observe the recovery efforts at Ground Zero from there.As you approach the FDNY Memorial Wall, you will be touched by her speech about how much firefighters' sacrifice triggers her emotions, and greet those who died on Sept. 11, 2001. The birdlike Oculus Center space will impress you with its soaring architecture on the way to the final point, WTC Station street level. There she recounts the horrifying aerial attack on the Twin Towers.Despite the dismay, this tour conveys a yearning for life as this seems to be a motto the author lives up to. Join it to share her unique experience and to walk both the places that heal and trigger emotionally.
