Default Re: "Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero"

Using the DVR.... I have programmed "Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero" to record and just watched one episode tonight.
It isn't clear when each episode will air right now but it doesn't appear that they are all back to back each night for a week.

There is a lot of progress underway at ground zero.
Seems once the decision of how to rebuild at ground zero was hashed out, construction has begun and the effort currently is to build one floor a week in the first new tower and to reach 1000 feet by 9/11/11 (10 year anniversary) When complete in 2013 it will stand 1776 feet tall.

The site will have a museum and two huge waterfalls into the 7 story holes in the exact spot where the original towers stood.
It will have a few other tall structures and a lot of trees throughout the campus.

It doesn't seem that nearly 10 years have already passed.
