14:45 PM St. Paul’s Chapel
We were late! We were supposed to be there at 14:30 PM for the Ground Zero tour.
The 2 hour tour will start from St. Paul’s Chapel.
We missed the first few minutes of the briefing. After catching the last few bits of the briefing, we were taken on a short tour around the chapel. The chapel, which miraculously survived the September 11, 2001 attack, served as a place of rest and refuge for recovery workers at the WTC site after the attack.

The Red Chasuble
Bell of Hope
The icon of Tragedy, Sign of Comfort
This steel t-beam was left standing in the rubble of Building Six of the WTC 2 days after September, 2001. It became a symbol of hope, faith and healing for many rescue and recovery workers searching the WTC site for the remains of thousands who perished in the terroist attacks.
This cross will be housed in the National September 11 Memorial Museum.
There were 2 baseballs left on the middle of the beam by a mother to her son who was missing after the September 11 attack.
A cover was placed over the baseballs to protect them from the weather.
The 1st new building at the WTC site is the 7Â World Trade Center, which opened in May 2006.
