| Governor of New York State George E. Pataki
delivers a speech at the launching ceremony of the construction of the new
World Trade Center (WTC) transportation hub in New York Sept. 6. With the
fourth anniversary of the Sept.11 terror attacks only days away, the
rebuilding of Lower Manhattan took another step forward Tuesday with the
ground-breaking of a new World Trade Center (WTC) transportation hub. The
release of two doves representing the birdlike design by Spanish architect
Santiago Calatrava symbolized the launching of the 2.2-billion-dollar
project at the WTC site. US Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, New
York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the governors and all four senators from the
states of New York and New Jersey joined Calatrava to mark the beginning
of construction of the hub that will serve more than 80,000 commuters
daily between downtown Manhattan and New Jersey.
