The Warehouse of 9/11 History

Back in May 2008, Jan Ramirez, chief curator of the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum, took the Trib on a tour of the 80,000-square-foot Hangar 17 at JFK Airport. Hangar 17 has been the storage site for relics of World Trade Center destruction—less than one-half percent of the 1.8 million tons of rubble. With the construction of the museum, the largest objects picked for display are now  installed and ready for exhibition when the museum opens next spring.
