Did you guys see SNL on Saturday? Skip to the 2:00 mark to see Chris Rock, who is now forever on my shit list, remark on the Freedom Tower.

Chris Rock didn't say anything a lot of people don't think. There are people who are afraid to go inside the building. But just like his commentary on the marathon, the marathons go on, and people will continue to work in tall office buildings, even this one, which ironically is probably one of the safest on the planet. Because most people choose to get on with their lives, and not give in to fear.
