The Oculus at the World Trade Center Transportation Hub
I made it a point to pass through the World Trade Center, which was in recent years been the subject of the news, most prominently, the ill fated World Trade Center. A lot has happened since the events of 9/11, most importantly, a lot of reconstruction has already happened. While it has been repeatedly said that the twin towers would never be rebuilt. A lot of new structures have been built here. This place is the site of the World Trade Center Transportation Hub. What exactly is that, it is basically a major train station which is connects New York and New Jersey.

At the time of my visit, the station wasn’t complete yet but the external structures were almost complete. Most prominently, there was a large bird like structure making the transportation hub. This is named the Oculus. It is described to be a bird being released from a child’s hand. I don’t know about that but I think it was quite attractive. It is too bad the hub itself is still not complete but I’m sure this would be a nice place to visit when it finally is. While the original World Trade Center will never be brought back, the new structures being built here can hopefully one day be as great as their predecessors.
