Big Pipe in Ground Zero

[tw]

A friend took the Path train with me into NYC to where I had previously bought my first transistor. But everytime we walked to where that store was, we kept returning to a big deep hole with a pipe across its middle; the pipe suspended by stilts.

That pipe was the tunnel we had ridden to Hudson Street. I returned to ground zero a few years ago to see that hole still there in the east wall - to better grasp what I have viewed 40 some years ago. Hudson Street Terminal was closed where the WTC replaced it.

So many denied I had seen this 40+ years ago. I specifically remember what was a subway tunnel instead looked only like a pipe suspended on stilts with steam shovels working beneath. Well that hole was removed. See Another Ghost From Ground Zero’s Past Fades Away from the NY Times of 26 Oct 2008.
