Ground Zero

"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."
These are the words of Caleigh Leiken who was born on 11th Sept 2001



Even though I did click many pictures, I will post a one minute video on what I felt while visiting Ground Zero.
