America’s pri- de – the twin towers of the World Tra- de Centre in New York, collapsed after hijacked passenger planes crashed into the towers. As images of the events were beamed all over the world, first emergency responders struggled to sa- ve lives. That ill-fated day, 2977 people lost their lives as the world stares a new challenge to security and stability in the 21st century. Today, the 9/11 Memorial Museum stands at the same site once where the twin towers stood. The museum is also known as the Ground Zero and documents the tragedies, victims, brave emergency responders, investigations, and reco- very efforts. 9/11 Memorial Museum is one of the popular attractions of New York that stands as a grim re- minder of the world’s greatest terro- rist attack.
