When I first heard that platforms were being built at Ground Zero in New York, I cringed.
I am 16 years old and I recently went to New York City.
While there, I heard some personal thoughts of Ground Zero and its platforms.
Some people felt it important to see the site for closure reasons. Others felt it wrong to gawk at a place where people had been running for their lives.
It increasingly started to sound like a show to me.
Handing out tickets, waits of three hours and now better seats.
I thought to myself, “Isn’t it inhumane to look at some place where thousands died, in the biggest tragedy that struck the United States?”
And to me that answer is, “Yes.”
It may bring reality to some people to actually see the destruction up close, but it is sounding more and more like a thrill ride than a memorial site.
