It's only been 9 years and they already finished a fountain!!!

The rebirth of the World Trade Center took a spectacular turn yesterday when one of the memorial's two massive fountains roared to life for the first time.

"It was absolutely stunning," said Joseph Daniels, president of the 9/11 Memorial. "The way the sunlight played on the water, and the sound. It was perfect."

Ground Zero is an absolute embarrassment.

Yet people still seem surprised that we are a joke to the rest of the world.

100% correct...biggest joke in the world

A camouflage-clad Florida dance troupe desperate to make it to a live TV talent show set off a rush-hour terror scare when they ditched their cars in merciless Lincoln Tunnel traffic and tried to sprint through the tube.

The FBI-NYPD Joint Terrorism Task Force was called in -- and a massive contingent of heavily armed cops surrounded the harmless performers, who stood teary-eyed in their showy costumes as hundreds of angry drivers were stuck in the snarl.

"They drew their guns on us at first," said Landon Burse, 24, the group's executive director who arranged the appearance on BET's "106 & Park" segment "Wild on Wednesday."

How much do you earn in two weeks?

Port Authority Police Department Sgt. John Farrell recently raked in a mind-boggling $30,000 in just 16 days while working for the cash-starved agency at Kennedy Airport -- thanks to 227 hours of overtime, PAPD insiders told The Post.

Farrell averaged 16 hours of OT a day -- at a minimum rate of $108.10 per hour.

So he ended up earning more than $25,000 in OT alone, on top of his regular weekly pay of about $2,400.
