But supposedly the designers have "corrected" some of the design flaws of the towers, in that there was not a lot of pedestrian through-traffic access, among other things.

There's still much to be constructed, but I'm happy for this much to have happened. It's still a chilling site. I wish they would complete repairing the building behind, at on the outside. It still looks like a war zone.
