I just got back from a college visit to Long Island and I got some pictures. I'll post the best ones in this thread. As i did not fly this thread is in the OTF. Enjoy!
On the drive up we stopped for lunch at JFK. unfortunately the weather was dismal and the cops paranoid.
We arrived at our Hotel on Route 454 in Ronkonkoma NY. And drove down to the beach and the TWA 800 memorial.
All around the memorial were carvings on the ground dedicated to victims or their families.
After the sobering viewing of the inscriptions and the reading of the inscribed names of the victims I walked over to the beach and took some photos of a storm tossed Atlantic.
It has been almost 8 years since July 17, 1996. The airline is gone and the world is different. This reminisce filled my mind as I departed the beach and ended day 1 in NY.
