168 Feet Long, Six Feet Three Inches Wide, and 18 Inches High
Those are the dimensions of the first, actual piece of the Freedom Tower to be built. Construction began at Ground Zero yesterday.
Of course - as seems par for the course for this 16 - acre swatch of memory - and blood - soaked earth - there could be problems:
A lawsuit filed last month by the Coalition of 9/11 Families seeks to halt the project on the ground that it violates a federal law requiring that historic sites not be used for transportation projects unless there are no feasible or prudent alternatives.
Folks? Due respect, but there aren't. This place cannot be a mausoleum forever. Even Pearl Harbor is a working naval station.
