WTC

After finishing our business at the SSA, we decided to walk to the Tower of Liberty. In general, we've been walking all day, which is great, because we eat rarely, but quite seriously. Next to the TL is a history memorial, which is closely linked to all my lecture notes. The WTC was destroyed on September 11, 2001. I remember sitting on the couch in the living room with my mom, watching the replays of the tragedy one after another. For 3 years now, this topic has been my everything; I can really tell you a lot not only about the technical side of the event but also about the philosophical one, which is what I did in Sasha's company. This is the greatest day for my dark little soul; I touched something I had been dreaming about for a long time. The fountains on the site of the towers symbolize... hey guys, I need your help. Perhaps this is the only thing I will never understand about the WTC crushing topic. ------------- I run a blog on VKontakte (https://vk.com/wielec_usa). More information there.
