OT: 4 years have gone by.

Can you believe it's been four years since the attack? I stopped by ground zero and there were TONS of people. And it was strangely quiet.

Anyhow, here's a cool lazer topographic pic of lower manhattan from a short time after the attack. It's a really neat pic, but really wierd to see a hole where a building was.

It's funny because they clean up the area so fast, it's really stunk down for quite some time while they where cleaning the place up, and still 4 years later and they still haven't even start to re-built.
