Warehouse of 9/11 History: A Tour of Hangar 17 

This video isn’t long enough. I could watch this all day

It still makes me so angry...and sad. Especially seeing the first responders' equipment and vehicles. Bless them.

it's a beautiful thing when historical curators have such a strong usage of the English language, they point things out most of us wouldn't think of immediately

My hometown made some of the steel for the trees on the towers. When they brought those pieces back to the mill it was so powerful and chilling.

I don't think a lot of people here understand , But this lady has to be knowledgeable about everything there because she is the director & curator of the 911 museum . I thought she explained everything clearly .

I felt very bad for the Polish taxi driver when she said he was so traumatized he moved back to Poland.

They did such a good job on that museum. Been to the museum twice and that little dark room that projects pictures of the people jumping brought me to tears both times. The quotes of people that watched the jumping are projected onto the wall. Saying they didn’t want to look but felt that they should bear witness to this person last moments. Just the thought of all those who had to summon the strength to do something they would never of chosen to do, but were faced with no other option because of fire and smoke. Just sad.

This woman has a wonderful command of the English language

Thank you for appropriately honoring something that has affected so many people and doing it in a way that doesn't glorify the situation

The ongoing tragedy of the First Responders and countless others who are still dying due to ill-health from the toxic dust should not be forgotten either. The Towers will continue to take lives for decades to come.

I saw this in real life, what an experience

By trying to stay away from creating art, you inadvertently have. My heart goes out to all who lost on that day.

I wish there was a way to see all the items that were found at ground zero. Especially personal items. I'm assuming there's alot of things that couldn't be put into the museum, some were hopefully given back to family members etc. I have seen things on Google images but most likely they are in the museum..... I'm hoping everything was kept bcoz it belonged to the victims that were horrifically murderd that day. I can't believe this happened 20 years ago when I was 19 years old. I remember seeing the 2nd plane hitting the tower while I was watching from my home in Scotland. I jumped off my seat, I also remember hearing about the next attack & thinking the world was ending that day. At anytime i thought it was going to say something was happening in London or elsewhere in the uk, or other countries being under attack. I remember seeing ppl jumping out the building, im sure 3 ppl jumped out the same window 1 after another..... The next day 1 of the images on the front of the paper showed a man & woman holding hands, they had jumped together...... There's a video on yt of someone filming from the viewing deck on the roof of 1 of the towers and I'm positive it was filmed the day before, the 10th of September. It shows the camera looking down to street level. I only saw this a few days ago, it randomly appeared on my feed & I just thought, all those ppl looking down the next day having to make that decision..... It's impossible to imagine the horror of having to make that choice. To each of the 2974 people who died that day may you all rest in peace & I pray for families 🙏 every year

You want to be happy these things are preserved but it makes one feel sick or cry too have all the memories and nightmares revived.

Thats very interesting and definitely a great way to show the history and honor those that went through this tragedy. Im very impressed that the people organizing this are making it clear that it isn't a happy beautiful art project but preserved parts of this sad tragic day that shook every American.

#NEVERFORGET for all our brothers and sisters lost that tragic day R.I.P

The twisted metal definitely makes you think about how awful it must have been to be in those buildings when this was happened. We probably don’t need to see the metal to imagine it, but it gives you a visual sense.

"People are stuck by the horizontality of it..."

I would like to Thank chief curator Jan Ramirez for showing the sobering items that survived. To all who lost their lives may god welcome in to heaven and to the survivors & families my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

I cry way too much thinking about that day... even 20 years later

I still cannot believe I watched the Twin Towers fall on national television on that fateful day. It is such a tragedy

Every time I see something about the 9/11 attacks I think about the first responders that died. Those people trapped above the impending inferno. The people that jumped from the building to escape the fires. So sad.

Jan seems like the perfect person to curate this tragic event. She is articulate, sensitive and knowledgeable. I think she will memorialize the memory of those lost in the most meaningful way.

Each year I learn something new about the aftermath of 9/11.

We will never forget. 😢

I think of the 9/11 museum as a gravestone; a place to come and grieve with other people. Gravestone’s have artistic details but they are still gravestones. It will always be a somber place.

Making art out out of tragedy is probably the most noble thing to be done with what remains, outside of leaving it alone as it is now. But it should always be seen. Let it be a reminder to us all that what we take for granted can be taken away in the blink of an eye. To those who died we love you and to those who still remain we love you, always 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

Well done. I’m choked up and that’s all I can say at the moment. RIP

I went to the temporary expo before the museum was built, i saw a window piece of the aircraft the hit the tower....very depressing thing, i left the expo in tears, not an easy thing to see.

Did they bring back the benches and the artwork to the site?

great pieces of evidence - I hope these things are still preserved for future investigations. looking back now over 20 years and what happened in between is nothing but mind boggling on a day to day basis.

I grew up on Long Island - Hicksville, Nassau County - NY. In front of my house there was a tall Maple Tree. If I climbed to the tippy top, On a clear day, If I looked West, I could see these towers. I will always feel and remember the loss of that day. I live in Massachusetts now - but a part of me will always feel and remember that day. Jan Ramirez has a wonderful gift of communication and the importance of every preserved artifact from those Twin Towers. She's wonderfully graceful in her descriptions.

I understand not wanting to treat these items like art, but it's powerful to see something so terrible in a new light, while also showing the destructive power. You can show me straight beams, but it won't mean as much to me as the twisted steel (which i find pretty in its own way). But some of this stuff is beautiful to me, sad as it may be.

The size of those steel beams, the one that was curled & twisted back as though it was like a piece of coat hanger wire, just amazes me how much force & heat it took to actually bend that??? and imaging one of those pelting down to the ground from over 3 football field lengths in the air??? OMG!

a highly intelligent, educated and exceptionally well spoken lady.

Ladder 3 men god bless you all rest in peace 😇 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸 your memory will live forever n ever

I skated that spot so many times. All the SHUT SKATES guys All the shops in Manhattan. We all left our mark on those benches and steps. It was so amazing going there late at night on the south Tower steps. The double step and marble ledge. Miss that place. RIP Harold H. , Justin P. And many others that hung out there.

The steel gives me shivers up and down my spine every time. Just knowing what is on that steel. You know what I mean?

Amazing work to preserve this tragic event as so never to forget.

9/11... We'll never forget... 💔🌹

It's incredible seeing 1 1/2" Thick steel just bent like that

Hutchinson effect is resonning through my head

I encourage anyone to go to the museum. It will bring you back to when we became United for a brief period and helped each other. Look at us now. So sad something bad has to happen for us to be nice to each other

What happened to the engines from the planes that crashed in to the Towers? I wish this video was longer, it's so interesting. Many thanks, stay well:-)

That's so crazy it hurts to watch this video

20 years on - on the other side of the world, this is still mesmerizing. All of these things are just things, but they whisper stories of those who attacked, of those who survived.... and those who didnt make it. I hope to make it to the museum one day.... and it will be emotional.

Nød vann agrigat till sprinkell anlegg? Disel drevne som starter automatiskt norr hovedstrømmen går + store batteri pakker som går kunn til strømm til høytryks vann pumpene? Som også starter automatiskt nor hovedstrømmen går?

This would so much better if it were hangar 18!

A day never to be forgotten

I had no idea there was a museum for 9/11. I hope that if they charge people to go in, profits go to something like helping victims' families, and that they're not profiting off a tragedy.

Ville bygget stått om du kjører data simulasjon på bygget vist alle 4 veggene i stål søylene var like tykke? Dette har jeg. Vert med på før . Ville bygget stått vist det var søyle armering inni stål søylene og så betong?

What happened to the black boxes? Strange how none of them were found.

Mastering the English vernacular as well as she has will be peace to my soul. 😭

Salute to the brave men and women who were involved in the rescue operations. One way to show the pieces of debris without making them art objects would be to prepare a model or 3D picture with the pieces highlighted.

Watching the events unfold that day is what lead me to enlist six years later at age 18. I wanted payback and I got it. Seeing anything about 9/11 still makes me sad and angry. While war is hell in its own right, I feel I would have more regret and anger, and lived in a different kind of hell had I not been given the opportunity to spread freedom to the taliban. RIP to all of our countrymen and women lost that day, and to all of our brothers and sisters who lost there lives fighting the scum responsible over the years. You are gone, but will never be forgotten.

I have a piece of steel about the size of a cookie sheet. Its 4 1/2 pounds. It’s bent all to hell and rusty and has one large rivet. Came from the roof of a building where we were replacing telephone equipment.

Stunning

Where is that place

always find myself coming back to 9/11 documents. so interesting, so unbelievable to have had happened... those firefighters death march going up the burning towers to save people, those trapped above impact zones making calls, the impending death of those hanging out their windows holding on.

It’s like picking at a scab.....it’s never going to heal.

Amazing work.

I can't stop watching videos about 9/11...flight 93 really haunts me. The reason I joined the military. Never forget!

how did they clean these items? is the air in that space clean?

The 3 finger type steel piece's remind me of a tuning fork :-)

Carried a piece on deployment.

I’ve never seen anything manmade feel so much like an autopsy, with the exception of the titanic.

One of the beams from the twin towers was sent to Padua Italy for a 9/11 memorial to commemorate the victims.

Wow 😳 look at how thick, and massive that steel is, the sheer weight of it.

I own a tiny piece of the WTC. I keep it in a locked box, haven't looked at it in years. I also own a brochure from the complex and box of matches from Windows On The World restaurant.

Those tridents are awesome

As I watched this video, I feel strongly that some of the more innocuous pieces of steel should be offered to communities across America to be memorialized as "sculpture" and a memoriam. While I realize you expressed a desire against this, you did not express any logical rationale to support your personal feelings. I, for one, would love the opportunity to pay my respects to those who died and be able to "touch" a part of this history without having to go to NYC. It seems selfish to me to not open up these relics of such an important event horizon to everyone in the country that were forever changed by that day.

I was just wondering where they put all this

How was a fire truck melted like that?

Were there any analises on the motors ?

Glad I found this, very tasteful explanation and presentation. I've never been to the US, perhaps one day I will. I know that when/if I do the museum will be the most important place I visit. I've seen how things have been presented and they've done an amazing job of explaining it all well. Hopefully, with so much presented in context, it will eventually put to bed all the crazy nonsense of the conspiracy theorists who still insist on insulting those who passed, and those who survived, with their bizarre fantasies.

You can watch this horizontality by turning your phone one way and turn it back you can see it in a more verticalastistical manner. 🥴

I didn’t think the perspective of those people in the elevators. They probably had absolutely no idea whatsoever what was going on.

4:24 I found that sign to be a dark commentary on what happened. I remember seeing the second plane hit on the news and for the first time in my life I had nothing to say.

The towers were apparently full of asbestos.... I hope they thoroughly cleaned everything displayed here!

Relics of a terrible day. Never forget Never again Never surrender

I was thinking that would be a great place to visit. But I won't go 7 stories beneath the ground nor will I do heights. 😓

Very interesting and so Well put together. Was ment to be coming to NYC this year but we all know how covid has stopped travel. One day I'll get to NYC and I'll be stopping by.

By golly it is a word!! horizontality [-ˌzänˈtalitē] DEFINITION noun form of horizontal

My heart breaks every time I see this stuff.

I wish 1 day I could go to the museum and visit the site of where the towers sat im obsessed with it and I live in England

Sad day in our lives see how vulnerable any nation can be, that day I saw evil for the second time first was the jfk and rkj Martin Luther jr

Never forget!

Vorfor var ikke alle 4 stål veggene liketykke?

Very interesting

IS this all metallic left of the builidings?

Why only pictures?? The government won't let you??

Har forsikrings penger blitt utbetalt till redningstjenesten?

Very chilling.....

Well, quite right for the elevators engines, but WHERE are the planes reactors?

She has a tremendous grasp of English

WOW. THAT WAS AMAZING TO SEE 👍

Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz during the Bush Administration were members of the Project for the New American Century. Quote from PNAC literature..."Further, the process of transformation, even if it brings revolutionary change, is likely to be a long one, absent some catastrophic and catalyzing event - like a new Pearl Harbor."
