Over 12 years after a terrorist attack shook the world, New York City
can again gaze upon the World Trade Center, after the first test of the
new tower’s spire lit up Manhattan.
The developers of the new World Trade Center tested the lights on the
spire of the building on Friday night (local time), as hundreds of red,
white and blue LED modules illuminated lower Manhattan.
The glow of the modules can be seen for up to 50 miles (80km), according to the Port Authority.
