The September 11 attacks were a series of four coordinated terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda on the United States on the morning of September 11, 2001. The attacks killed 2,996 people and injured over 6,000 others and caused at least $10 billion in property and infrastructure damage and $3 trillion in total costs.Four passenger airliners operated by two major U.S. passenger air carriers —all of which departed from airports on the northeastern United States bound for California—were hijacked by 19 al-Qaeda terrorists. Two of the planes, American Airlines Flight 11 and United Airlines Flight 175, were crashed into the North and South towers, respectively, of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Within an hour and 42 minutes, both 110-story towers collapsed, with debris and the resulting fires causing partial or complete collapse of all other buildings in the World Trade Center complex, including the 47-story 7 World Trade Center tower, as well as significant damage to ten other large surrounding structures. A third plane, American Airlines Flight 77, was crashed into the Pentagon in Arlington County, Virginia, leading to a partial collapse of the building's western side. The fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, initially was steered toward Washington, D.C., but crashed into a field in Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after its passengers tried to overcome the hijackers. A total of 2,996 people, including the 19 hijackers, were killed and more than 6,000 others injured. It was the deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement officers in the history of the United States, with 343 and 72 killed respectively.

Les attentats du 11 septembre 2001 sont quatre attentats-suicides perpétrés le même jour aux États-Unis, à quelques heures d'intervalle, par des membres du réseau djihadiste islamiste Al-Qaïda, visant des bâtiments symboliques du nord-est du pays et faisant victimes. L’opération Bojinka est considérée comme un plan précurseur de ces attentats.Au matin du mardi, dix-neuf terroristes détournent quatre avions de ligne. Deux avions sont projetés sur les tours jumelles du World Trade Center à Manhattan et un troisième sur le Pentagone, siège du Département de la Défense, à Washington DC, tuant toutes les personnes à bord et de nombreuses autres travaillant dans ces immeubles. Les deux tours - dont les sommets culminent à un peu plus de de hauteur - s'effondrent moins de deux heures plus tard, provoquant l'anéantissement de deux autres immeubles. Le quatrième avion, volant en direction de Washington, s'écrase en rase campagne à Shanksville, en Pennsylvanie, après que des passagers et membres d'équipage, prévenus par téléphone de ce qui se passait ailleurs, ont essayé d'en reprendre le contrôle.

The Tribute in Light is an art installation of 88 searchlights placed next to the site of the World Trade Center to create two vertical columns of light in remembrance of the September 11 attacks. It is produced annually by the Municipal Art Society of New York.The two beams cost approximately $1,626 (assuming $0.11 kWh) to run for 24 hours. There are 88 xenon spotlights (44 for each tower) which each consume 7,000 watts.OverviewThe Tribute in Light initially ran as a temporary installation from March 11 to April 14, 2002, and was launched again in 2003 to mark the second anniversary of the attack., it has been repeated every year on September 11. It had been announced that 2008 would be its final year, but the tribute was continued in 2009.On December 17, 2009, it was confirmed that the tribute would continue through to the tenth anniversary of the attacks in 2011, but continued again in 2012. As of July 23, 2012, plans are underway for the National September 11 Memorial & Museum to assume the lease for the MTA property used during this tribute, and to begin transitioning operation of the tribute from the Municipal Art Society to the memorial foundation.Those working on the project came up with the concept in the week following the attack. Architects John Bennett and Gustavo Bonevardi of PROUN Space Studio distributed their "Project for the Immediate Reconstruction of Manhattan's Skyline". Artists Julian LaVerdiere and Paul Myoda, who before September 11 were working on the 91st floor of the World Trade Center north tower on a proposed light sculpture on the giant radio antenna with Creative Time, conceived of a project called "Phantom Towers". They were commissioned by The New York Times Magazine to create an image of the project for its September 23 cover.

2 World Trade Center, also known by its street address, 200 Greenwich Street, is an unfinished office building at the rebuilt World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York City. The tower is under construction. It replaces the original Two World Trade Center, which was completed in 1971 and was destroyed in the September 11 attacks.When completed, the tower will be located on the east side of Greenwich Street, across the street from the original location of the Twin Towers. The foundation work was completed in 2013, but construction is currently on hold.Original building (1971–2001)The original building was also known as the South Tower. When completed in 1973, 2 World Trade Center (the South Tower) became the second tallest building in the world—outmatched only by its twin, One World Trade Center. The South Tower's rooftop observation deck was 1362ft high and its indoor observation deck was 1310ft high. The World Trade Center towers held the height record only briefly: the Sears Tower in Chicago, finished in, reached at the rooftop. Throughout its existence, however, the South Tower had more floors (at 110) than any other building. This number was not surpassed until the advent of the Burj Khalifa, which opened in 2010.Of the 110 stories, eight were set aside for technical services in mechanical floors (floors 7/8, 41/42, 75/76, and 108/109), which are four two-floor areas that evenly spaced up the building. All the remaining floors were free for open-plan offices. Each floor of the towers had 40000sqft of space for occupancy. The original Two World Trade Center had 95 express and local elevators. The tower had 3800000sqft of office space.

Not to be confused with St. Joseph's Church in Greenwich Village, San Giuseppe's Church (New York City), or St. Joseph of the Holy Family's Church (New York City) in Manhattan.St. Joseph's Chapel is a mission parish of St. Peter's Church, the oldest Catholic parish in New York State. Established in 1983, it is located at 385 South End Avenue, Manhattan, New York City. The parish includes all of Tribeca from Canal Street south to the Battery and from Broadway west to the Hudson River.HistorySt. Joseph's traces its origin to Maronite Catholics who held services in the lower church at St. Peter's on Barclay Street from 1899 to 1906, when they built their own church on Washington Street. In 1904 the Maronite community established The Roman Catholic Church of Our Lady of Lebanon in Brooklyn. Most of the parishioners were from Aleppo, Syria. Over time, many Manhattan Maronites, who were predominantly from Lebanon, relocated to Brooklyn. By the late 1930s, Saint Joseph’s had a very small congregation of Maronites in the neighborhood.In 1946, the City of New York took title to the Washington Street property in connection with the construction of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. Saint Joseph’s Church moved to 157 Cedar Street next to the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church. The new location was heavily remodeled including the removal of the top two floors and in use by May 1949. In 1969 the Saint Joseph’s Church property was sold to the Archdiocese of New York, but later the property was taken again by eminent domain, for construction of the World Trade Center. In 1983, St Joseph’s moved to Battery Park City at 385 South End Avenue and affiliated with St Peter’s Church. The Cedar Street location was razed and turned into parking.

Zuccotti Park, formerly called Liberty Plaza Park, is a 33000sqft publicly accessible park in Lower Manhattan, New York City, located in a privately owned public space (POPS) controlled by Brookfield Properties. The park was created in 1968 by Pittsburgh-based United States Steel, after the property owners negotiated its creation with city officials.

In 2011, the plaza became the site of the Occupy Wall Street protest camp, during which activists occupied the plaza and used it as a staging ground for their protests throughout Financial District, Manhattan.

Occupy Wall Street, è un movimento di contestazione pacifica, nato il 17 settembre 2011 per denunciare gli abusi del capitalismo finanziario, che si è concretizzato in una serie di dimostrazioni nella città di New York presso Zuccotti Park. Il nome del movimento assume Wall Street quale obiettivo simbolico, in quanto sede della Borsa di New York ed epicentro della finanza mondiale.I partecipanti alla dimostrazione manifestano principalmente contro l'iniquità economica e sociale sviluppatasi a seguito della crisi economica mondiale, ispirandosi alle sommosse della primavera araba, in particolare alle proteste tunisine.Dimostrazioni simili si sono svolte in altre 70 città degli Stati Uniti e di seguito anche in Canada, Australia, Regno Unito a Londra e in Italia.Il rapporto dell'FBIDa un rapporto di 110 pagine dell'FBI, intitolato "Potential Criminal Activity Alert", si è scoperto che il movimento è stato spiato, inquinato da infiltrati e delegittimato con un'intensa campagna di disinformazione. In questi documenti si parla anche di contatti con le maggiori banche e finanziarie statunitensi. Occupy Wall Street è composto principalmente da anarchici ma si sono alleati con esso anche socialdemocratici comunisti e anche conservatori seppur poveri e libertariani, alcuni anche identificati nella destra estrema.

The Solaire, in Battery Park City, New York, was designed by the architectural firm of Pelli Clarke Pelli. It was the first "green" residential building in the United States as well as the first residential high-rise building in New York City to be certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. Completed in 2003, it has been described as an "environmentally-progressive residential tower".The developer received funding from the State of New York, which was somewhat controversial as the developer was only required to agree to set aside 10% of the units as "affordable housing" or "moderate income", rather than the usual 80:20 agreement. When the building opened rents ranged from roughly $2500 to $9001 depending on the size of the unit. The Solaire is located at 20 River Terrace in Battery Park City, one of the most affluent neighborhoods in New York City with a view that spans from Jersey City in the west to a glimpse of the Empire State building and the UN, the tallest building in NYC since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, standing above the rest of its surroundings.Environmental designThe building has been rated "U.S. Green Building Council LEED-NC, v2 – Level: platinum". The LEED ratings were established by the Green Building Council to evaluate a building's efforts to use renewable materials, conserve energy and water consumption and enhance indoor air quality. The energy conserving building design is 35% more energy-efficient than code requires, resulting in a 67% lower electricity demand during peak hours, resulting in (among other benefits): Lower electric bills for residents Photovoltaic panels convert sunlight to electricity Computerized building management system and environmentally responsible operating and maintenance practices

Teardrop Park is a public park in lower Manhattan, in Battery Park City, near the site of the World Trade Center. It was designed by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, a New York City landscape architecture firm. The park includes art designed for it by Ann Hamilton. The park sits between residential buildings toward the north end of Battery Park City at the corner of Warren Street and River Terrace. The creation of Teardrop Park is part of the ongoing construction of Battery Park City, a neighborhood on the southwest edge of Manhattan Island that was created in the 1970s by landfilling the Hudson River between the existing bulkhead and the historic pierhead line. Before construction, the site was empty and flat. The park was designed in anticipation of four high residential towers that would define its eastern and western edges. Although Teardrop Park is a New York City public park, the client for the park was the Battery Park City Authority, and maintenance is overseen by the Battery Park City Parks Conservancy.The park opened on September 30, 2004, and is one of several in Battery Park City. Located near Rockefeller Park, which has a popular playground with standard equipment, Teardrop Park was designed in collaboration with play experts from the Natural Learning Initiative to complement rather than replicate the existing play area. Teardrop's play elements are integrated into the landscape to allow city children to interact with natural materials such as water, plants, rock, and sand. Teardrop Park was praised for its use of natural plantings in a children's park. One article described the park as being crowded with children and parents, jampacked with experience, and offering a welcome naturalistic retreat from the city. Another critic said the park was barely used because it didn't offer enough things to do. A subsequent article, written by child development experts who helped design the park, said a study indicated that the park is well used, and "deserves to be praised as a successful public space."
