Today is the 18th anniversary of 9/11. For most Americans age 10 or older it is a day they probably will never forgot. 3,000 people lost their lives.

What many people don’t realize is what was FOUND after 9/11. The clean-up was massive in New York City. By May 2002, workers had moved more than 108,000 truckloads–1.8 million tons–of rubble to a Staten Island landfill.

In 2014 the 9/11 Memorial and Museum opened. The Museum serves as the country’s primary resource of information for all the events of 9/11.

Over the years, the museum has worked to document the events of 9/11 with oral histories and the collection of over 11,000 items and artifacts from Ground Zero in New York.

The items found in the museum include ephemera, textiles, artwork, oral histories, books and manuscripts. The collection also has more than 40,000 print and digital photographs.

Sometimes is a tragedy where life it is what is FOUND after provides us powerful memories. This video did that for me.
