Tunnel to Towers Foundation’s high-tech, 83-foot tractor trailer transforms into an 1,100 square foot exhibit to educate people about September 11, 2001. It is a tribute to all who lost their lives that day and from 9/11-related illnesses. Members of the FDNY, which lost 343 of its members on 9/11, provide first-hand accounts of the day and its aftermath. Visitors can hear audio recordings of first responder radio transmissions and see one-of-a-kind artifacts, including pieces of World Trade Center steel, aluminum façade from the buildings and items recovered from the rubble after the Twin Towers collapsed.
