The debate over the speed with which reconstruction of Ground Zero is progressing continues. A few days ago, CollegiateTimes.com complained “so far, no progress at Ground Zero.”
Today John Havranek, a Sophomore, Aerospace Engineering, responded saying the complaint is unwarranted.
“Ground Zero is not just any old construction site, it is a grave. I challenge anyone to stand there and not feel a sense of humility and remorse as they read the names of those who died, gazing into the hole where the towers once stood,” Havranek said. “I walked around Ground Zero last year, and even four years after, when construction is going on, you can’t help but mourn those who were lost. Imagine what the people who work in the hole must feel, and then you are going to say they are working too slow?”
And sometimes, less is more!

True, the grounds of the Freedom Tower and the new World Trade Center are indeed hallowed. The time taken to construct the new buildings is valuable, and no one in his/her right mind should think otherwise. Once these structures are in place, the world will finally be able to experience the gift of solace in the midst of an innovative New York City.
