In Battery Park stands a survivor.
Once perched between the now-missing Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre this sypherical monument has been moved to a temporary home in Battery Park with the intent that it will return to near its original site when the 9/11 WTC memorial is complete.
As the towers imploded and debris fell all around, this monument remained standing on its anchoring post and did not fall with the Twin Towers.
One can imagine the destruction in the area around the Towers and even more so, the surprise of resquers to see this survivor beaten, but still standing.
Imagine that piece of sculpture surviving but so many people loosing their lives. So sad even now after so many years.
