Wow, that's insane. The magnitude of it never hit me until I visited a handful of years back, having never been there before. But when I saw the pit, the buildings around it, and knew that the WTC buildings were bigger than most, it kind of hit me. Then in the Jersey Trains tunnel right beside the site, they had an exhibit of drawings kids had done in memory of family members that they lost in the tragedy. A large amount of them were from kids mentioning how they'll miss going to the parks, the Yankees, Mets, Giants, Jets, etc games. That actually brought tears out for me; the teams I've been rooting against so vehemently (and still do) came to be the reality of just another team, something that someone else held dear. Was a really tough moment.
