Chris Christie and the 9/11 artifacts

[Beacool]

7. I find this particularly offensive.

I live in Hoboken, fifty-three of those who died on 9/11 were Hoboken residents; more than any other town in New Jersey.

Bad enough that he gypped us out of our fair share of the Sandy relief money because our mayor didn't endorse him, he was also peddling remnants of the WTC to his supporters????

It makes me sick!!!!!



P.S. I couldn't remember the exact number of victims so I looked it up and found this nice article about the trees that the city planted to commemorate the victims (ginkgo bilobas). There is a tidbit that I was unaware of and found very interesting.

"But one historical fact about the ginkgo stands out as miraculous: A ginkgo was one of the few things left standing—and alive—following the 1945 nuclear blast in Hiroshima. It would bud without any deformities the following spring. The Japanese regard the tree as the “bearer of hope.” Still standing outside a temple, inscribed into its trunk are the words “no more Hiroshima” and prayers for peace."
