World Trade Centre Workers Scrawl Graffiti

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 24 Januari 2013 | 23.31

Workers building New York's tallest tower at the World Trade Centre site have been encouraged to leave messages of remembrance on the concrete and steel.

The graffiti appears on beams, walls and stairwells of the skyscraper that is being built to replace the towers.

The messages range from tributes to 9/11 victims to sketches and poetry.

The words "change is from within" have been scrawled on an iron beam in the 104-storey high-rise that soars above the site.

One of the last beams for One World Trade Centre hoisted up last year has a special handwritten message: "We remember. We rebuild. We come back stronger!"

The message is signed "Barack Obama".

Ironworker Kevin Murphy says the graffiti is a way for workers to express their feelings about 9/11.

"This is not just any construction site, this is a special place for these guys," he said.

"Everyone here wants to be here, they want to put this building up. They're part of the redemption."

Some beams are covered in a spaghetti-like jumble of graffiti hearts, flowers and messages.

Families of victims invited to go up have left names and comments too, as have firefighters and police officers who were among the first to respond to the attack.

Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff wrote: "With you in spirit - those who perished, those who fought, those who build."

People on the ground below will never see the spontaneous private thoughts high in the Manhattan sky.

The graffiti will disappear as the raw basic structure is covered with drywall, ceiling panels and paint for tenants moving into the three million square feet of office space by 2014.
