monkglenn | MEMORY FROM 1979

World Trade Center Cathedral

LOCATION: World Trade Center Basement Mall , NEW YORK CITY

YEAR: 1979

TAGS: World Trade Center, Bee Gees, dawn, WTC

PUBLISHED: September 15, 2008

I was walking and enjoying the early morning in Manhattan, long before the workers came to the city. I had seen Fifth Avenue pre-dawn empty, and took the subway to the World Trade Center so I could be there when the workers all came in from the subways, wanting to see a real New York City rush hour at the WTC.

I sat on a marble step in an underground mall with marble, terrazza, and glass walls and floors, all sounds echoing loudly like in a giant cavern.

I heard the subway arrive, and the first of the day's crowd walked in, but to the SOUNDS OF THIS SONG!

A cool looking long haired Latino guy walked prancingly from the tube to the vaulted area carrying a giant boom box and this blasted out beautifully and echoed like in a cathedral.

It was the most beautiful scene of the city I kept, and in later years, I often referred internally to this memory. I pray for all those who suffered loss there years later. God Bless The People of New York City!
