«Breaking News» Manhattan subway station destroyed on 9/11 reopens to cheers

A New York City subway station has reopened for the first time since it was destroyed in the World Trade Center attack 17 years ago.

Cheers erupted as the first train rolled into the newly renamed WTC Cortlandt station at noon Saturday, marking completion of the final major piece of reconstruction after the attack.

The old Cortlandt Street station on the subway system's No. 1 line was buried under the rubble of the twin towers on September 11, 2001.

Construction of the new station was delayed until the rebuilding of the surrounding towers was well under way.

The Metropolitan Transit Authority, which completed the station's reconstruction, did not take possession of the site until 2015.

Before that it was under the control of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, while the Port Authority completed other nearby transit hub construction.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
