<< What are those Towers of Light??? >>

As a temporary memorial (while they decide what to do with the site), they 
have erected twin searchlights on the grounds of the World Trade Center (or, 
I guess, clusters of searchlights) beaming two "towers of light" into the 
night sky over Lower Manhattan.

There is as yet no consensus on what to do permanently on the site. Some want 
to turn it into a permanent memorial of some sort. Others want to rebuild the 
Twin Towers (although trying to make them more durable). Others want a peace 
park or a more modest building, or some kind of mixed use. The Towers of 
Light were suggested over the fall or winter as something to do while they 
decide on a permanent solution.
