Ground had yet to be broken for the Flight 587 Memorial when this photo was taken. The memorial to the 265 people who were killed on 12 November 2001 was built on this site and dedicated on 12 November 2006 - the 5th anniversary of the accident.
I don't know what's happening with the ambulance and the running man.
