THREE THOUSAND SPIRITS
As the eleventh anniversary of September 11th approaches, chaos runs all around the sight. The museum is incomplete. The crowds are herded and manipulated into paying for the privilege to visit the sight, which technically is free, with a donation voluntarily.
Construction continues on the monstrous tower replacing the twin towers as the tallest building in the western hemisphere. The design has been changed and rearranged so often that it is not near the original rendering, and still not finalized at this writing.
All the while the security costs, the traffic, the inconvenience to local residents and businesses are paid no mind from the authorities using the sight for political and financial gain.
Yet there are the three thousand spirits still roaming, still waiting for respect, waiting for some service, some sacrifice, some acknowledgement. Spirits that are without voices, reflecting what they might have wished but couldn’t express. Is this the way to honor their deaths?
Three thousand spirits are roaming nervously in a place that cannot heal. The security force numbers, the police and their guns, the barricades protecting a bull sculpture which was a gift to the city in the middle of the night, and the false need of security from terrorists is too disquieting to let healing happen.
The people who remained in the City, the people who first responded, and all those that ran to help have those spirits implanted in our lungs, tattooed in our hearts and minds, and reflected in our actions.
To these people, September 11, 2001 is still happening, and to the spirits that are continuously haunting the World Trade Center sight, I can only wish and pray that they will be properly respected in time.
The World Trade Center fiasco continues to the detriment of the whole planet.

The terrorist September 11 attacks by Al-Qaeda resulted in almost 3,000 immediate (attack time) deaths, including the 19 hijackers and 2,977 victims.[1] Three hundred seventy-two foreign nationals (excluding the 19 perpetrators) perished in the attacks, representing just over 12% of the total.
The immediate deaths include 246 victims on the four planes (from which there were no survivors), 2,606 in New York City in the World Trade Center and on the ground, and 125 at the Pentagon.[2][3] About 292 people were killed at street level by burning debris and falling bodies of those who had jumped from the World Trade Center’s windows. All the deaths in the attacks were civilians except for 55 military personnel killed at the Pentagon.[4] Some immediate victims were not added to the list until years later.
More than 90 countries lost citizens in the attacks on the World Trade Center.[5] The foreign countries with the highest losses are the United Kingdom (including the British overseas territory of Bermuda) with 67, the Dominican Republic with 47, and India with 41.
In 2007, the New York City medical examiner’s office began to add people to the official death toll who died of illnesses caused by exposure to dust from the site. The first such victim was a woman who had died in February 2002 from a lung condition.[6] In 2009, a man who died in 2008 was added,[7] and in 2011 a man who died in 2010
