World Trade Center Beam Tour Honors 9/11 Victims Across the U.S.
A steel beam from the World Trade Center's fallen South Tower was displayed at a Long Island education center as part of a national tour organized by the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. The tour, named 'Steel Across America,' aims to remind the nation of the sacrifices made during the September 11 attacks. The beam, weighing 16,000 pounds, was escorted by a police pipe band to the Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy Navy SEAL Museum in Suffolk County. The event drew hundreds of families affected by 9/11, including Rosemary Cain, whose son, FDNY firefighter George Cain, died in the attacks. The tour will visit 35 locations across the United States, including the 9/11 crash site of Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
