A 2008 Tour of Hangar 17 and the Artifacts of 9/11

Jan Ramirez, chief curator of the September 11 Memorial Museum, gives a tour of Hangar 17 at JFK Airport, where hundreds of artifacts from the 9/11 attacks had been stored. Some would eventually be shown in the museum, the rest donated to communities in all 50 states and 10 foreign countries, where they were put on display.

9/11 was a planned LUCIFERIAN ritual

[@SilentKnight43]

Recently my wife and I revisited our local 9/11 Memorial Walk on the south shore of Lake Ontario in St. Catharines. New saplings were planted not long after the horrific attacks - each tree dedicated to someone lost that day. It was remarkable to see the growth and height of the trees along the pathway now - a stark and visceral reminder of the passage of time. We stopped at each one and read every brass plaque in quiet reflection. We talked about our memories of that fateful day...the utter shock and horror watching it unfold on the TV in our living room. The sadness we felt and the tears we shed openly.

[@lotstodo]

The missing pictures and notes were so sad and poignant. People had hope and thought their loved ones might be wandering in shock, sadly they didn't survive. The city hall in my town has a permanent display with some of the damaged metal from 9/11. It always moves me when I see it.

This hits me the same as when we lost JFK. I was only a child but I remember where I was when we heard the same as 9-11. The factory where we worked we were building a production line in the UK to got to America to the Ford plant in Windsor Ontario , making Mustang motors. The CEO wheeled his TV out into the factory after the first plane hit - the whole place STOPPED. Not believing waht we were seeing like some disaster movie - sadly all too real. One day I plan to go to NY to take flowers. I was engaged to a lovely American girl ( who died in 2001 NOT in 9-11 though - but in a car wreck) just before our wedding. We had a table booked at 'Windows on The World' for October 2001 she had booked for my birthday - as we know - it was no longer there. Bless all the lost. We both signed the tapestry that was hung from one of the buildings nearby along with millons of others. May you all walk with the Angels in Glorious paradise, the light of the Lord forever shines upon you. Thank you for sharing

this woman and her team have done and continue to do such an amazing incredible impeccable delicate job. I mean this are people that i think are extra human compared to us, in a way, for being able to understand the importance of preserving from the smallest piece to the most giant in order to help future generations and society in general learn from history. I've been to third world countries where you see how their societyies have neglected historical sites where small castles or colonial bridges are almost rusted to the ground and are now a garbage landfill. You gotta understand that a society decays when the proper value is not given to the effort, sacrifice, blood their previous generations gave for freedom

I used to spend a lot of time at that plaza between those towers. At night waiting to meet my GF at the time I would lay down with my stomach to the sky and I would look at the stars waiting to take the PATH train to JERSY CITY. ON a clear night it was beautiful and I would just love waiting there. When I was young it also was a great place to go skateboarding at 2 am or later after everyone had long gone home and very few Security Guards to run from. Lol. It had the smoothest floor you have ever skateboarded on and the nicest ledges and steps. I know we pissed a lot of people off but we meant no harm. Little is sad about how artistic skateboarders are. Oh we love the architecture of the place, and it was in hindsight a holy shrine, to our GOD OF WHEELS. God bless to all those that lost people in that horrible day. I watched it from 12 blocks away. God bless all the firemen and police that went in their selflessly to help others without the slightest thought so they’re safe being. So true, Mark Delgado man or woman is not what they do the good times for what they do when faced with adversity. To those that made the ultimate sacrifice rather than burn painfully more is the sadness of your endurance. As a New Yorker, this is and will always be an open wound on our souls only healing slowly and little by little. Very little. I don’t seek vengeance I seek solidarity for all humans. What is happening to us. This isn’t a segregated and for isolated phenomenon, we even our own Americans are killing her own children in mass shootings that define logic. Something terrible is happening and it’s my humble opinion that it’s getting worse. These ideas that justify the use of deadly force in these people and the mind control. I feel like it’s almost part of a larger conspiracy. What would make people do search unspeakable things. Nothing in me no amount of anger. No death in my family would push me to take revenge where I would hurt innocent bystander and children …. How do they do it …? Children. THE HORRROR…… THE HORROR ….😥 Please all young people.

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

Circahh H the motives are everywhere and proof has already been established by over 1000 scientists. Cutter charge damage is shown at :46. Cutter charges are used in demolition to slice beams diagonally so a building slides sideways and collapses. No steel building has ever collapsed from fire which is what the official report claims. Google all of the above if you don’t believe it. Or hide your head in the sand. The reality is we have a criminal govt which will kill to stay in power and out of jail.

[@speculizer1971]

Ten Minute Tokyo 2 sorry bud...... there is absolutely ZERO proof of anything you claim..... for every one conspiracy “scientist” who claim such there are literally thousands who would NEVER put their name and reputations on such nonsense!! “Cutter charges?” Lol. Sorry bud....bud there were no “cutter charges” as all those beams were cut by the literally hundreds of cutting Torch’s used during all rescue recovery and debris removal. Building collapse happens all the time in building fires and every IFSTA manual for the past 100 years explains that building collapse is ALWAYS a hazard in building fires, especially steel frame. Just because buildings don’t typically completely collapse don’t mean collapses don’t take place. They typically don’t have 2 110 story skyscrapers collapse within feet of them and have large gouges taken out of them and fires started on many floors which were allowed to burn unhindered because of broken water mains either. Instead accusing others of burying their heads in the sand you honestly should pull yours out and educate yourself on the topic and actual facts rather than just conspiracy sites.

One thing I have never heard an explanation for were all the cars that were parked blocks away from WTC and we're literally burned to a crisp. This was before the WTC came down. What in hell burned those cars and buses. The only thing left was a skeleton of a vehicle. Was very scary.

It was the explosion from the plane and the jet fuel that magically exploded the lobby

[@fredjones7705]

So why don't you link to these burnt out cars before the towers fell? Because you can't. Because it didn't happen that way.

@@GOOCHIElicker It didn't "magically exploded the lobby". As jet fuel poured down the elevator shafts from the impact site floors, it spread fires throughout the building, not just all the way down, but to the sides as well, into the elevator shafts next to them. This triggered explosions directly outside of elevator shafts (places like the lobby) and even the restrooms that were located next to elevator lobbies on multiple floors.

@@cookingsecrets11493 Jet fuel didn't pour down elevator shafts, explosions just expand into any opening and elevator shafts are very long openings. It's how a gun works.

I wish they would of done like the titanic and put in the museum some of the personal items of people that lost their life. I feel you would get closer to the tragedy it is sad to see the police and firefighter vehicles and beams but wish would of had items that was at the site

I have some metal shavings from the Trade Center. Perhaps from one of these beams? I cherish them greatly, even though I was not alive on 9/11.

In October 2001 the aluminum plant i worked for received truck loads of shreaded air plane parts. I believe it had to do with 911 cover up

[@TheMiddleClassholes]

The cover up. lol

[@lewiswetzel8617]

@@TheMiddleClassholes i just thought it was odd. It was the only time we received that type of material

[@TheMiddleClassholes]

@@lewiswetzel8617 So what, exactly, was being "covered up"?

[@lewiswetzel8617]

The plane that supposedly hit the pentagon. We know it was a missile that hit it. So where did the plane go? Also, we had a contract with the CIA to melt down the rollers from their laser printer. Though i was not there for that, but my dad was. He was supervisor when they came in. They had agents guarding the furnace and they took the rollers off the truck and put them directly into the furnace. This wan not done to ANY other materal

@@lewiswetzel8617 A missile? Except there's no evidence of a missile. Lol
