"That morning, my mom, then a public defender at the Legal Aid Society and eight and a half months pregnant with me, walked the five miles away from the burning Twin Towers in lower Manhattan to my parents’ apartment on the Upper West Side. She went into labor that afternoon. After a cab ride across Central Park, with a police escort and lights and sirens so my mom-in-labor could cross the barricades, I was born at 5:15 p.m. by emergency C-section at Mount Sinai Hospital."
Even though I did click many pictures, I will post a one minute video on what I felt while visiting Ground Zero.
These are the words of Caleigh Leiken who was born on 11th Sept 2001

Worst day of my life!
Difficult to describe our feelings too on visiting it - Anand Rao
After all these years the feelings are still so raw.
When President Kennedy was assassinated, I thought that was the worst thing that could happen to our country. I was wrong. What happened with the Twin Towers ripped out parts of our hearts and souls, and like Lorraine already said, the feelings about that day are still very raw.

What a story Caleigh has.
I don't think anyone will forget this moment in history.
