World Trade Center remnants in TN


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

A piece of the WTC set in memorial,at the TN fire training academy. located at Bell Buckle.

I actually rested my hand on it. It was cold yet warm. Hard to describe. To me that steel represented heroes, good guys and bad guys. Anger and sadness, hellfire and peace. Pretty moving to hold that steel and think of all that has happened since it first came down. Very moving.

To be able to touch it and hold it was unique all to its own. The pieces at the base are from the rubble and rebar that was left
at ground zero.

Side note, the special forces memorial in Fayetteville nc is not made of WTC steel. My mistake. Interesting though Edited by Dustbuster

Felt the same way when I saw the piece of the WTC that's at Bagram, Afghanistan.  Seeing something from an event that changed so many parts of the world is a surreal experience.

I drive past the road to the fire training academy every day on 231. Can you just go in there and see that?


If the gate is open yes.

I will never forget that day. I had a few friends in the towers that day that did not come home. My wall paper on my computer is a picture of the twin towers about 1 minute after the 2nd plane hit the tower so I am reminded of it every day when I turn on my computer.

 

I had a friend of mine send me this picture and I thought I would post it here. O got it in the following winter.
