On June 11, 2011, one of our investigators took a trip to Ground Zero. With all the tourists there, it is obviously impossible to conduct a thorough investigation at the site. Rebecca did, however, have some very intense personal experiences there and we thank her for sharing these very personal and emotional experiences she had on that day.

I went to visit Ground Zero in NYC on June 11th, 2011. It was one of the most intense experiences of my life. We got off at the subway stop that is still labeled WorldTradeCenter, even though it isn’t actually the real stop. That one isn’t able to be rebuilt since the towers came down. As we went up the stairs my head became very heavy. The whole area to me felt thick. Not that it looked thick, but the emotions that were coming over me were very dramatic. The first thing you see is the area is surrounded by a fence that is almost impossible to see through because they are building on the site.
They already have a tower that is partially completed up. The biggest emotion I felt when looking at it was anger. Very intense feelings that the building on the site is wrong. Looking around the area that’s all I kept feeling was that what was happening wasn’t right. Things became very polarized for me. I had never had a strong emotion either way on the building on the site, and being there, there was an overwhelming feeling of unease, and overall that it was just not right.
After we walked around for a few minutes we headed towards the cemetery and St. Paul’s Chapel across the street. Before we left though I managed to find some holes in the fencing where I was able to shoot a photo or two.

We walked around the area and also visited a memorial for the survivors of that day. The memorial was interesting because to me it reminded me of a balloon animal.
In the cemetery I began to feel not so much anger, but sorrow. The cemetery and chapel were not damaged when the towers fell. Just covered in dust. When I entered the chapel I felt the most intense emotions of my entire trip. From the second I walked into the chapel until the time I walked out I was crying. It was the type of crying that was inconsolable sadness. I feltby the sadness that was leftover. I couldn’t stop myself from crying. It became so bad that my cousin came over to me, hugged me and literally looked at me and said…”You’re feeling it aren’t you?” There are different displays in the chapel, from a fireman’s uniform to a display of badges from people all over the world who came to help. I can’t express enough how much sadness, confusion, and anger surrounds the area.
As all of this is personal experience, I can tell you that I’ve never been overcome so completely with that much emotion. I would consider the whole area hallowed ground as we will never find all the people who perished there on that awful day. I remember where I was the day this all happened and I hope we never have to feel that again!
