The One World Trade building was built near to the former World Trade Centre in New York City after the towers were destroyed by a terrorist attack in 2001. The new building is the tallest in the western hemisphere and one of the tallest buildings in the world. When I visited last December, I took some photographs of "ground zero" where the footprints of the two twin towers were located and are now memorials to those who lost their lives. The names of those are located around the base, and roses are placed on the names from time to time to remember special days. Visitors can view the observation deck on the towers for views over New York City.
There is also a museum dedicated to ground zero as well.
The views from the top look amazing.
I saw bands from the Mets baseball game playing on the streets below, street art, and a part of the flag flown for the last time on 11 September 2001 during the tragic day. The flag is located in the post office around the corner.
The observation platform is perfect to see on a clear day.
