A massive steel beam, once part of the World Trade Center, has found a permanent home among the historic cattle pens of the Stockyards. The arrival of this 2,500-pound memorial object served as the catalyst for a sweeping outpouring of civic memory, compelling the community to look back at the morning of September 11, 2001, with both sorrow and renewed solidarity.
The column, which specialists identified as emerging from one of the lower concourses of the North Tower, traveled from New York amid precise military-style coordination.
