Ground Zero – June 13, 2004
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

Most of the buildings near buildings at Ground Zero were damaged.\u00a0 Some are being dismantled (left), others are being repaired (right).
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

Most buildings around the Ground Zero site suffered huge gashes
\n<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n
