it really is quite disgusting to realize how the site has become just this huge tourist attraction.

I have to disagree. It would be disgusting if they were selling coffee mugs, snowglobes, and "I went to ground zero and all I got was this t-shirt" shirts, however, the simple reality that people want to see the site should not ellicit feelings of disgust. As humans we feel more connected to things if we can see or touch them first hand, in the case of historical events the closest we can come is being were the event transpired. I would suspect that most of the people that visit the location do so because they feel some need to connect with those that lost their lives that day or out of some need to be in that place to lament. The same is true of many places where horrific loss of life has occured.... the Nazi death camps, the beaches of Normandy, many WW1 battle feilds, the US civil war battle feilds.... it's not uncommon and I would argue not abnormal.

The thing I found most sickening of all when I went were the people that had set up little tables in front of it full of WTC memorabilia for sale.

i have no problem with people going to pay their respect and all that good stuff, but like Mikey said, when you have people that are trying to make a quick buck off the situation, or people that are snapping all these Kodak moments with their family, it just makes you wonder why they're really there.

of course i'm not saying that's why everyone is going there. it's just the feeling that i got the last time i was in NYC.

yes but i've been to arlington cemetary and ppl treat it like a place to pay respect.. as they should in WTC.


they prob cut down or told ppl not to sell stuff anymore.. which i'm glad cuz i didn't see any of that. But who knows. Ppl are sick and today is the 5th yr anniversary so who knows if ppl will be selling something stupid to commemorate.

As when I go to Poland one day to the concentration camps I wouldn't be taking a pic posing infront of where thousands of ppl had died.

taking pics.. i dont find that disrespectul... i guess to each their own. i wonder how many poeple find it disrespectful..?

Taking family pictures with everyone smiling and holding American flags in front of a crater in which thousands of people were burnt to cinders or suffocated in a monsoon of crisped building ash seems rather tasteless to me. It doesn't bother me to take pictures of the site if you're there, I mean sure, why not, but to pose and point and smile and act on the whole cheery in a place where people lost their lives just seems morbidly cheesey and out of taste.

i must of missed the part about poeple posing infront of it... yet i still dont find it disrespectful to pose infront of it.. maybe if they were laughing and cheering ya... to stand infront of it and take a pic no.
