Δεκατρία χρόνια μετά το τρομερό τρομοκρατικό χτύπημα στους Δίδυμους Πύργους, ετοιμάζει να ανοίξει τις πύλες του το Μουσείο εις μνήμη των θυμάτων της 11ης Σεπτεμβρίου.

Το 9/11 Museum θα ξεκινήσει επίσημα τη λειτουργία του στις 21 Μαΐου. Bρίσκεται μόλις λίγα μέτρα από το "σημείο μηδέν" και στεγάζεται σε ένα όμορφο κτήριο από γυαλί και σίδερο.

Cut in half: The remnant of a firetruck that was damaged in the September 11 attacks is one of the biggest displays at the memorial museum
Wiring: The elevator motor that once shuttled workers up to the highest point of the towers is also one of the more than 10,000 objects on display
Artifacts like the slippers that were on board American Airlines flight 11 that crashed into the North Tower are among the most moving displays in the museum, which opens to the public on May 21
Structural remnants: Two beams from the towers (left) and the 'survivors staircase' (right) that helped hundreds out of the burning buildings shows the scale
New York as it was: A bicycle stand and the bicycles parked on them were maintained and are on display
Proportions: The 'Last Column', a 58-ton welded piece of plated steel became a memorial during the search and rescue operation and emergency responders posted their own memorials on its sides
Difficult exit: A New York Fire Department ambulance that never made it out of the melee is part of the museum collection
Fire resistant: In addition to the relatives of the fallen, emergency responders are allowed to visit the memorial over the course of the next six days before it is opened to the public
Dealing on a deadline: Firefighters and EMTs were not the only rescue workers who died on that fateful day, as police officers were also among the casualties
Sending out a signal: This 19.8-foot fragment of the once 360-foot transmission that stood atop the tower shows how dramatically everything was broken apart
Tributes: Photos and personal stories memorialize the thousands of victims who died in the terrorist attacks
