A 9/11 story from Jane Rogers, then our curator of the fire and rescue collections. These are her photos: "About a month after the terrorist attacks on 9/11, I received a phone call from a colleague asking if I wanted to take a trip to collect objects from Ground Zero for the museum. I accepted his invitation." "As we stepped out of the cab and onto Ground Zero, I saw utter devastation. The debris that filled part of the hole—or the 'pile,' as it was called by rescue personnel—was active with all types of workers. Welders, carpenters, engineers, riggers, sheet metal workers, and many others from the building trades were shoring up the surrounding buildings and stabilizing the debris pile. Police and rescue personnel with rescue dogs were sifting through the debris looking for recoverable remains. Firefighters were putting out fires." "Seeing the site on television was horrific but seeing it in person was worse. I had been an emergency medical technician (EMT) with a volunteer fire department in Maryland and had been to many accident scenes, but this was different. The sense of urgency was almost palpable as these workers, many from other states and from different trades, worked together to make the site accessible to the rescue personnel. For all of the work that was going on, the pile was eerily quiet." "Visiting the aid stations where the workers could get something to eat or just decompress was humbling. Their emotions were too raw to approach them about donating objects to the museum. Most were exhausted, digging through this huge pile of debris, finding nothing or, even worse, a fallen brother. As a curator, I know the importance of collecting, and I rarely shy away from an opportunity to bring a storied object into the museum's collections. But on that day, it was not my place to ask these guys for anything, but to thank them for their tireless service." The photos Jane Rogers took that day are part of our Photographic History Collection. Congress designated the museum as the official repository of the story of 9/11, and the museum continues to collect artifacts that reflect what happened that day and the aftermath.
