Pope Francis: Grief still palpable at site of Sept. 11 terror attacks

Interesting about the Pope - 

NEW YORK — Pope Francis said Friday that grief remains palpable at the site where nearly 3,000 were killed in terrorist attacks 14 years ago at the World Trade Center.

"This is a place where we cry … for the powerlessness we feel when we see injustice, the inability to solve our differences, to dialogue," Francis said in Spanish, addressing an interfaith prayer service at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum.

The pope also stopped at one of the memorial's two outdoor reflecting pools, which trace the footprints of the Twin Towers destroyed by hijacked planes and said a silent prayer with about 1,000 invited guests. Most were survivors of the attack, relatives of those who were killed or emergency responders.
