    On Thursday March 13th, Ground Zero was crowded with people, most of them are commuters and some visitors and tourists.  There is the World Trade Center Path Station that connects New Jersey and New York below this site.  There is stairs at the center of this area that takes you to basements.  Most of the people who were coming in here took this stairs and went to basements.  There was a long fence that divided where we were allowed to enter and the construction site.  There were some signboards on the fence that explains about what they are building, the names of people and so forth.  Also there was a small information booth and they had brochures in front of it.  Some visitors were taking pictures of the site, reading the signboard.  In the back of the fence there were two tall flagpoles.  There was the American flag on the left and the flag on the right was meant this site is ran by the Port Authority according to a person who was working at the information booth.  When I talked with a worker at the booth, he was mentioning that when 9/11 incident happened, he was in Europe and worried about her daughter who was living in New York City. 
He also mentioned that people in the city had their own individual and personal interests on what happened on 9/11.  There was an old guy sitting on the ground and playing a flute in front of the fence.  He also had flier/ handout type of sheet to give people.
