Hurricane Katrina has absolutely taken the wind from the sails of WTC reconstruction, and the wind might not blow this way again. Santiago Calatrava's design for the transportation hub is terrific, and it was great so many officials were here to celebrate. But it's all a bit of an enigma at present; here we are four years later with a gaping hole in the ground, and the worst natural disaster in American history has just happened. Over a million people need immediate and long-lasting relief. Do our needs pale in comparison? Is funding for the WTC memorial in jeopardy? Will the squabbling over the Freedom Tower and memorial ever cease? Are the victims of Hurricane Katrina more needy? I certainly haven't got the answers to any of these questions.
