Sept. 11 museum takes visitors on a dark journey through the tragic terror attacks
The museum devoted to the story of Sept. 11 tells it in victims' last voicemails, in photos of people falling from the twin towers, in the dust-covered shoes of those who fled the skyscrapers' collapse and in the wristwatch of one of the airline passengers who confronted the hijackers. By turns chilling and heartbreaking, a place of both deathly silence and distressing sounds, the National September 11 Memorial Museum opened to the public on May 21 deep beneath ground zero, over 12 years after the terrorist attacks.
The project was marked by construction problems, financial squabbles and disputes over the appropriate way to honor the nearly 3,000 people killed in New York, Washington, D.C. and the Pennsylvania countryside. Whatever the challenges in conceiving it, "you won't walk out of this museum without a feeling that you understand humanity in a deeper way," museum President Joe Daniels said.
The privately operated museum — built along with the memorial plaza above for US$700 million (approximately NT$21 billion) in private donations and tax dollars — was dedicated on May 15 with a visit from U.S. President Barack Obama and was open for the following week to victims' families, survivors and first responders before opening to the public.
