Sadly all 11 that showed up in the “Ladder 3” Firetruck did pass away, but they saved many people prior to the towers falling that we’re able to get away because of them. Truly special people that will never be forgotten.
The truck was from the city fire department's Ladder Company 3, which helped civilians escape from the trade center's north tower on Sept. 11, 2001. The vehicle had sped to the twin towers from its firehouse in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood with 11 firefighters aboard — all of whom died when the towers collapsed
This museum is the most awe-inspiring place I’ve ever been. It’s essentially the tomb of all the 1100 people whose remains haven’t been identified, and may never be found. It contains every day objects like keys and bus passes that really strike home the humanity of those who died. The twisted metal from the buildings, the destroyed fire truck, fragments of the plane show how profound the devastation was—something incomprehensible to me prior to my visit.
The people who work there, who work amongst all that remains of the people who died, are also amazing. They’re friendly, upfront, and they want to welcome you into the experience. They’re like priests. All they want is to help tell the story, and to help people to understand the terrible power of hatred... but also the awesome power of humanity. The people who work at the 9/11 Museum are carrying on the legacy of all the people who ran toward danger that day—many of whom also died.
The 9/11 Museum is a warning about the worst humanity has to offer, a monument to innocent lives tragically lost, and a solemn celebration of the volunteers who saved lives and offered dignity to the dead. It’s a place of profound respect.
