On the eve of the 14th anniversary of one of the most tragic days our country has faced, one New Yorker took pictures of a beautiful sign of hope.

Yesterday in New York, CEO of Leverage Agency Ben Sturner got up in the morning and went out to his terrace to check the weather -- something he does every single morning in his Queens apartment. Little did he know he was going to see a sight that would be viewed by people all over the world. He looked up at his unobstructed view of 1 World Trade Center and the beautiful Manhattan skyline, and saw  what he called "he most gorgeous rainbow I've ever seen."


Sturner took some photos and posted them on his Twitter, and didn't think much of it. From there the internet took over. His photos have been retweeted over 1,200 times and has been favorited over a thousand times. News channels have been picking up the photos and sharing it all over their own social media accounts.

Twitter users have also been commenting on Sturner's photo and thanking him for his photo giving them hope and helping them remember 9/11.
