From the 9/11 Memorial & Museum: Beneath the wreckage of the Twin Towers, a 36-foot-tall piece of steel remained standing, anchored into bedrock. This steel piece was once a part of Column 1001B—one of 47 columns that supported the South Tower’s inner core. Uncovered by workers during the nine-month recovery period, this resilient steel remnant, the last column to be removed from the World Trade Center site, assumed symbolic status for those working at Ground Zero. Recovery workers, as well as relatives and friends of victims, affixed mementos and wrote inscriptions on the column, filling its surfaces to honor those lost.
