Contributor's location on 9/11: I was 3 blocks away from Ground Zero working on a roof top.
Contributed on: June 17, 2002



This is part of the landing gear from one of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11.
I was doing the orange safety netting on the Federal Building, which is directly across the street from Ground Zero. The FBI and Postal Inspectors didn't allow anyone on the upper roof where the landing gear and other airplane parts had fallen. I had access because we were putting up the safety netting to keep the broken glass from falling on the rescue workers in the street. As of this date, I have not seen another picture of this landing gear on the Federal Building!
