His predecessor George W. Bush, just three days after hijacked planes
|
|
destroyed the World Trade Center's Twin Towers, stood bullhorn in hand in the
|
|
smouldering wreckage to declare: "The people who knocked these buildings down
|
|
will hear all of us soon."
|
|
|
|
Almost a decade later, in a bookend to that historic visit, Obama came to New
|
|
York to say that promise had been kept.
|
|
|
|
At ground zero during a bright and sunny afternoon, Obama shook hands with
|
|
police officers and firefighters, then laid a wreath of red, white and blue
|
|
flowers to honour those who died. Obama then paused, bowed his head, closed
|
|
his eyes and held his hands together for a moment of silence.
|
|
|
|
Obama, who made no remarks at the site, greeted relatives of victims.
