Do you guys realise how big the world trade center actually was, it was like a city in it's self, it had it's ow subway system, it's own mall, it's own wedding chapel, it's own restuarant, it's own observation decks, it had a lot of stuff underground/floors, it had generating rooms, it had 7 buildings, it had it's own hotel, it's own police station, truck docks, it had it's own zip code, it was a whole 16 acers of property, about 200,000 people were there daily. I wouldn't be suprised if it was the second largest office complex in the world. and now all of that is gone.

Funny thing is, even though I had never been to this mall nor was aware it actually existed, I had a dream once that I was in the World Trade Center Mall on 9/11, knowing what would happen that day, and scrambling to the subway among the crowd of busy people before the first plane hit. Even odder, the mall in my dream, which I didn't know actually existed, didn't look too far off from the real thing.

She looks like she was probably born in '75 if she gave birth to her son in or '94 or '95, no younger than 19...
