September 11th has not been forgotten, especially by wholesalers close to the site of the tragic event.
One year ago, a hallowed yet profound silence traumatized the American people as terrorists attacked and destroyed two of the most recognizable symbols in this country - the twin World Trade Center towers. Almost 3,000 people were killed and more than 250 million were left in shock. While another plane hit the Pentagon and one more plummeted to the ground in Pennsylvania, the video footage of the towers collapsing is the image tattooed in every American's mind.
Immediately following the attacks, no one knew what to expect. With people living in fear that another attack would take place, the economy suffered. Since then, the stock market and overall economy have had ups and downs for the entire nation, but New York wholesalers close to ground zero have suffered even more with the loss of two buildings representing enough work to resemble a city of its own.
