Ground Zero

Ground Zero in New York is where the Twin Towers once stood. But today the 9/11 Memorial marks the site of the World Trade Center. Ground Zero is still an impressive sight for many people. You can visit the 9/11 Museum or walk around the memorial that was created in memory of the 2,752 victims of the attacks.
