Hell, it’s been ten years since 9/11 and still we haven’t rebuilt on Ground Zero.

Maybe after they are finished, they can come over here and put up a new WTC. Should only take them a couple of months at the rate they are going!

Japan is the model for why a nation should avoid multiculturalism and diversity.I have no problem with us having a multi-racial society, with all kinds of different cultures, as long as we share common values. We've sadly gotten way too far away from that in the last 50 years.

There’s an opening in the world for somebody to become the Andrew Carnegie of carbon fiber. Nobody should be making buildings or bridges out of steel any more.

For all our problems, there are many Japanese who would trade places with you in a Tokyo minute. I worked with them for 9 years over here. They dreaded going back and having their kids treated like aliens. And don't get me started on how they treat the hard-working Koreans!

I'm with you.
The 'after' picture appears to be taken a few hundred feet further back then the 'before' picture.

We could have done it already if we had the collective will to do so. It took New York only about 18 months to build the EMPIRE STATE BUILDING in 1930-31 ( the height of the great depression), and was finished about a month ahead of schedule and $5 million under budget.
We showed we could do it then. We have better technology today, but we don’t have the spirit to do it.

When carbon fiber fails (and it does), it fails catastrophically.

American New York City left-wing wimps still have a disgraceful, cowardly hole in the ground nearly ten years after 9/11.

Looks like a different stretch of road. I believe in the second pic the damaged area is on down the road quite a little ways.
To: Michael.SF.
Indeed.
The trees are much closer in one pic than the other.
Would need to see it up closer before I would say it is rebuilt.

There is a very BIG difference today — can you say “Political Correctness”?
To: SeekAndFind
Wanna bet union work is not mandatory, the government is not running the project for the exclusive benefit of the Teamsters and politicians are not looking for taxpayer handouts to big time contributors?
To: SeekAndFind
They got unions in Japan?
