Tonight is the last night that the lights emanate from ground zero in Manhattan. At 11 PM tonight they will be shut off. I decided to take some pictures of the lights on their last night so I went to the Manhattan Ferry Pier near the Brooklyn Army Terminal not too far from my house in Sunset Park. The pictures were taken between 7:51 PM and 8:22 PM this evening before the guard threw us off the pier. It turns out the pier closes at sundown. In any case, I figured I'd share my pictures with the rest of the Freepers. The towers were gone after 9-11, now the lights are gone as well.
Thanx for the photos, they are very beautiful. I am in NJ and have a view from my front door. Not to be a pill or anything, but I just looked outside, it's 11:30pm here and they are still on. It was to my understanding, that for tonight, they will be on until dawn.
I guess some people's complaints posponed them shutting them off at 11.
Who knows? We might get lucky and someone will cough up the 10 grand a night it costs to keep the lights on.
