I went (for the same reason I went to the Empire State Building afterwards) because it's there and it's something to see. My friends had been there and I wanted to be able to say that I had also been there. Obviously the feeling was quite different - the top of the Empire State Building during sunset is quite romantic while Ground Zero is sad. But in the end they were both attractions and seeing them was better than staying home. I’m not sure I can answer these questions about visiting Ground Zero in detail.
