The Freedom Tower, and many of the other buildings in the plan, have been held up by construction issues, politics, budget overruns, and general squabbling! :x

New York City, which includes the five boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and the Bronx, has over 8 million people!

And we are all nuts! :lol:

Yes, I thought it might be up there somwhere :) Oslo you can drive from one side of town to the other pretty fast when theres no traffic, that doesnt take much time. I guess NY would be a little different to drive in :) if everbodys nuts, I would probably do ok :) I dont think I would fit in any less there

How about Tokyo, what is it there, around 38,000,000 or something? :)

"As of October 1, 2007, the population of Tokyo is estimated to be 12.790 million, or about 10% of Japan's total population"

Big though!

This is one of the most amazing photos taken on September 11th - can you imagine those poor tourists coming to New York for the first time and seeing that? 8O :(

I stepped out of the subway station just north of the towers and walked a block to Murray Street, just as the second fireball was going down a little. There were chunks of the airplane and other results of the explosion that it is better not to describe. :cry:

Here is what was at Murray Street, and I realized I had to get the hell out of there immediately: :pale:
