After the smoke cleared, there was a city to rebuild
After the 9/11 attacks, once the smoke cleared and the rubble was removed, New Yorkers had a city to rebuild. There was just one problem: no one could agree on what should be built. People cried. People yelled. People fought. The only thing they didn’t do was get along—until a single event changed everything.
