During the recovery period at Ground Zero, more than one million tons of World Trade Center material were removed from the site.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey appointed a task force of architects and museum consultants to salvage historically significant remnants of the World Trade Center. Ranging from multi-ton steel beams to human-scale artifacts such as a bike rack, the World Trade Center objects were stored in Hangar 17 at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, at the time an unused, 80,000-square-foot facility.
A large selection of these objects is now on display at the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
