They had hoped for the Spring of 2005 as far as I can tell. But we can see that that didn't happen. Hmmmmmmm...also...do you know why, at the time you saw it, they weren't working on it? Was the project shut down for lack of funding or something? Or was it just the time of day that they let people close enough to look that they didn't do any work?

I ask because, I think now you can watch the blasts from their "safe distance" area. But I am not sure about that either. I think I read that somewhere in all the links I've visited about the memorial.
