I went to New York a couple of years after 9/11 and was amazed at the bounce back of the people of the city. I talked to one veteran New Yorker who basically told me that the personality of the city had changed and people seemed to be more willing to talk to each other.
I remember going to the site of the WTC which was still walled up, and it was just a big hole in the ground, but because of the way that the walls around the site were built it was quiet, and haunting to look at it.
