Rising: Rebuilding Ground Zero Sept. 11, 2001, is a day that no American will ever forget. Today, nearly a decade after the horrific attacks on the original World Trade Center, a massive effort is under way to reshape ground zero into an expansive 16-acre complex the likes of which has never been seen before. To document this historic undertaking, Discovery Channel will be on the ground alongside the men and women who have dedicated their lives to the rebuilding effort until the nationally televised unveiling of the new ground zero with President Barack Obama on Sept. 11, 2011. Along the road to next year's unveiling ceremony, Discovery Channel will bring viewers daily updates from the construction site. Visit us on DiscoveryChannel.com to see the latest photos, blog updates, videos and more from the team at ground zero. The new World Trade Center may well be the most complex, demanding and detailed construction project ever attempted. It is a series of contradictions. The vision behind it requires a place to remember as well as to welcome the future' it calls for both an open, inviting layout and safety measurements above and beyond the highest standards. It took the best and the brightest architects, engineers, city planners and other experts to create the plan in progress today - a plan that not only meets these complicated requirements but brings ideas that were once contradictions into seemingly impossible harmony. Follow the Discovery Channel team as we go inside the rebuilding site at ground zero and find out what it really takes to complete this historic effort. Discover new technology, get to know the people who are bringing this vision to life and follow the construction crews as the rubble rises into what will serve as the world's lodestar for the future of construction and engineering.
