Underneath the two square waterfalls where the twin towers once stood in New York City lies the memorial to the 3,000 who died. It sits in the original basement space of the towers with fragments of the mangled structure on display. I had previously seen one such fragment in Albany and another on in the former Newseum in Washington, D.C.
Photography is prohibited in the museum gallery that occupies the original footprint of the two buildings. In it, charred personal belongings, broken aircraft parts, and journalists photographs tell the harrowing tell the one day hell came to the city. The city that famously never sleeps, and many were unable to sleep that night.
