From ENR: Like a Phoenix, World Trade Center Rises From Ground Zero
(enr.construction.com) - KAREN MATTHEWS - Ten years after the 9/11 attacks destroyed the World Trade Center, an 80-story glass and steel tower is rising like a phoenix from the ashes of ground zero.
The site called a "hole in the ground" for years has cranes in the air, trains running underground and hundreds of trees planted around giant, man-made waterfalls to remember the dead of Sept. 11.
And the surrounding neighborhood - no longer just a financial district - is bursting with young families, new schools, a Whole Foods and a Barnes & Noble.
Tourists squint and point their cellphones at 1 World Trade Center, once known as the Freedom Tower.
