Empire of the Iguanadons

Life is full of interesting surprises. Sometimes it also brings back reminders of the past. In this case, today, one such random happenstance has brought back a physical reminder of one of the most devastating days in American history. Pictured with this post is a piece of landing gear from one of the planes that struck the Twin Towers on 9/11/2001. This has apparently been sitting wedged into an 18 inch wide alley between to large buildings less than a block from Ground Zero for the last 12 years. Just another reminder to us all of that day, and the vigilance we need to maintain.

Well. I guess that's that then.
