The New York Stock Exchange was then evacuated as well as nearly all banks and financial institutions on wall street and in many cities across the country. The london stock exchange and other stock exchanges around the world were also closed down and evacuated in fear of follow-up terrorist attacks. The New York Stock Exchange remained closed until the following Monday. This was the third time in history that the NYSE experienced prolonged closure, the first time being in the early months of world war 1 and the second being March 1933 during the great depression. 



i feel as if 9/11 changed the world, i personally feel lucky that i couldnt really understand what was going on at the time, but as a grew up and understood the whole situation i realised the devistation this had caused the world and the amount of family's that where torn apart by this, i cant even begin to imagine what it was like for the people in that situation and also how hard it was for the world to watch this on the tv or listen to on the radio as it was happening, and the moment everyone's heart dropped when the second plane hit the second tower. so for the scene in the play i feel we all had to go to a dark place to portray the devistation this has caused.

Along with 1.4 million tons of debris removed, 19,435 body parts were recovered from the WTC after 9/11.
