Rising from the Ashes

On the eve of the third anniversary of 9/11, Project Rebirth has launched a website to document the redevelopment efforts at Ground Zero. Watch time-lapse films of the cleanup and rebuilding effort, view a live webcam (see below), see artists' renditions of the planned memorials and the 1,776-foot-tall Freedom Tower and -- most movingly -- read stories of 10 individuals whose lives were profoundly changed by the travesty of September 11, 2001.
