September 11th, 11 years later

Most everyone you ask will tell you where they were and what they were doing on September 11th, 2001, a fateful day which changed the history of this great nation forever.  As tragic as that event was, it is surprising to see how well everything has turned out.  The lives lost on that fateful day will never be forgotten and we will always cherish our beloved freedoms which Americans fight for on a daily basis for you and I.

In a story done by CNN finance, it explains some details about the new World Trade Center One, which on September 11, 2012 was the most viewed story on CNN.com by far.  embedded in the story is a video about one of the crane operators done by a Fortune Magazine journalist, which showed the job of the construction people putting up the new WTC 1 building.  Aside from that, in the article CNN journalist Aaron Smith explains how WTC 1 will be the tallest building in the western hemisphere, and that already since last year, one of the WTC buildings is Leased 100%, which according to Dan Fasulo, managing director for Real Capital Analytics is a “home run for real estate”.

I think this story is newsworthy not only because it is a story that directly impacts thousands upon thousands of people, but for those who sympathize with the tragedy, it ties up loose ends people might have been curious about before and also leaves people feeling a little bit better about the whole ordeal.  When disasters like 9/11 happen, people look for to be consoled, even 11 years after its occurrence.

  1. I tend to agree with your analysis, Jescy, but I am skeptical of commercializing 9.11. Why is it somebody always has to make money off these events?

    I also saw a story about the new building and wondered about tenants. I don’t think I would be first in line to move in.

  2. I was thinking the same thing. If this was a target for a terrorist attack, would i really want to be the first to invest into something like that again?
