What's in there?

I think the report I saw last night said metal from one of the towers, a crushed ladder truck and (I think) remans of some victims. Controversy over that last week by family members. I don't blame them.

Remains??? ${#emotions_dlg.scared}$

I live very close to NYC, didn't watch the coverage, lived thru that week.

Apparently there are doors throughout the museum from which you can leave if it becomes too much,

I visited the memorial pools which are quite beautiful.

My two half brothers went to NY to see after the clean up and said it was huge holes and then they went after the pools were made and said it was so beautiful........I just wish everyone could get along or at least leave others alone and live in peace.

I think web bie saw the direction it ""could"" be going and shut it down. I don't think anyone wanted it to get poofed.

There were no nasty comments, some of them were rather odd IMHO.

I worked in Lower Manhattan and was standing on the street as the second plane flew into the tower, these are memories I carry with my every day.

I will go to the museum but even thou its 13 years there are time it seems like it was just yesterday

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.

Unidentified remains that have until now been stored at the NY Medical Examiner's office have been moved to the memorial to be stored until they can be identified. They are NOT on "display" in the museum.

I think it's ghoulish to have them there and make it public that they are there. They are human remains for pete's sake. Anyone who hasn't had their loved one(s) identified can assume they are the remains of their loved one(s). How would you (anyone) feel in their place?

It's wrong...IMO.

ETA...If they've been held at the NY ME's office until now, what's the point of moving them? If they're still trying to make a determination, wouldn't it facilitate the work to have them at the work site?

What is the difference between that and a cemetery? Or a mausoleum? The remains are categorized and are to be kept with the hope that as DNA identification advances over the years, they will be able to eventually identify those remains for certain. They are not still trying to make a determination. They have used every test and way they have available with today's technology and cannot identify them at this time. The hope is with advancing technology, some day they will.

From what I read, many family members wanted them there. Only some didn't want them down in the museum, they wanted them up top.

I read something on the internet that many people were upset that admission to the museum is $24. They felt it was much too much.
