New Rochelle, NY - For the many who remember the attacks of September 11th 2001, the massiveness of what happened still may not be a reality for them. At Hangar 17 in John F. Kennedy airport they are given the opportunity to take a closer look into the smaller remains of an enormous atrocity.
Remains that were taken from the World Trade Center site, during the cleanup of Ground Zero, were brought to Hanger 17. As one walks through this museum of twisted steel and crumpled fire trucks there is a greater sense gained of what happened on that Tuesday morning.
There is uniqueness about this site, which is that eventually all of the steel will be donated to cities around the world. Beyond the steel one would find on this site, bike racks with the bikes and chains still on them, the crushed fire truck of the first responders, and many more items captured in the moment of the attacks that have never been changed.
For now it has been open to a few media and, its primary purpose is to hold the evidence of an attack on America. It is made up of over 1,300 pieces and in total weighs over 30 tons. In the near future it will be open for public viewing according to FOX News.
Shepard Smith of FOX News while doing a series on the aftermath of the attacks, called the “Rise of Freedom” did a report on this story. He describes this place as a “time capsule” of September 11th 2001.
There is one artifact that holds a lot of symbolism which is a large piece of steel twisted like a strand of DNA. This item which weighed tons and was the support of an entire building is swirled into something so twisted it could no longer be used.
In order to obtain a piece of the World Trade Center a town or person has to fill out a detailed piece of paper that states exactly where it will be displayed and further details about the use of it, and why they should have the honor of holding a piece.
In Pennsylvania there is an American Legion site, which is now home to a 15 foot piece of steel. Todd Nelson, the local commander of the Sons of the American Legion stated in an interview, "That's a hallowed piece of steel...to us, our community and to our country that is the most valuable steel you will ever get your hands on… "it's one of the main columns that supported the twin towers."
They started building this memorial site years ago what they applied to get the piece from Hangar 17. When they found out they were getting it they organized at seven mile long motorcycle motorcade from New York to Pennsylvania to escort the piece of steel properly.

Good article.. however if I were you I would choose to stay away from redundant phrases such as " enormous atrocity" other than that I like your writing style
