New York City (May 28, 2002) – A New York City firefighter stands at “Ground Zero” as recovery efforts come to a close. The event marked the final removal of the last remaining World Trade Center structure, Column Number 1001B of Two World Trade Center. The 30-foot column remained standing following the collapse of the twin towers, when terrorists flew two commercial airliners into both skyscrapers on September 11, 2001. The resulting collapse created a mountain of 1.8 million tons of steel and concrete. More than 3000 people perished in the attack. U.S. Navy photo by Photographer’s Mate 2nd Class Bob Houlihan.
