WTC Relics Saved By Three Men
Relics of the World Trade Center attack are being displayed in a new exhibition at the New York Historical Society in New York City. Dennis Diggins, James Luongo and Richard B. Marx saved the items from the rubble that was trucked from Manhattan to the Fresh Kill landfill on Staten Island, the New York Times reported. "They are responsible for virtually all of the things that any museum has, in terms of objects from the trade center," says Mark A. Schaming, curator of exhibitions for the New York State Museum in Albany. "Most things were saved at Fresh Kills, not at Ground Zero." There are more than 50 artifacts on display: a rumpled 5-foot American flag, a fragment of a red door from a fire truck and on a twisted wire ring, a forlorn janitorial key marked "World Trade Center Do Not Duplicate."
