Few understand what Ground Zero looked like in the days and weeks that followed.

This footage captures the site on the night of September 11 and in the days immediately following the attacks, as smoke continued to rise from the massive pile of debris.

The fires at Ground Zero did not end on September 11. Deep beneath the rubble of the World Trade Center, they continued to burn intensely for nearly 100 days, with hot spots still being detected into December 2001.

During that time, firefighters, construction workers, engineers, and recovery crews worked around the clock in hazardous conditions. As smoke and heat continued to emerge from the ruins, they searched for survivors, recovered victims, and undertook the enormous task of clearing the site.

Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Dean Eberling lived in Cranford with his wife of 19 years, Amy, and their two school-age daughters. Eberling enjoyed riding his mountain bike on trails throughout the East Coast. He worked as a senior vice president in research at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods on the South Tower’s 89th floor. On 9/11, Eberling was seen helping two women escape from an elevator. He was 44 years old.

In the days following September 11, the American flag became a symbol of hope, strength, and resilience. Today, that legacy lives on.

The original 9/11 flag, raised above Ground Zero during the recovery effort, is now on view in the 9/11 Memorial & Museum's "Our Flag Was Still There" installation as a tribute to the lives lost and the courage shown in the aftermath.

Eder Flag, the company that produced the flag originally flown at Ground Zero, also makes the flags flown over the Museum plaza and available for purchase at our Museum store. Each one is respectfully flown, carefully handled, and returned with a certificate of authenticity signed by the President & CEO of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum.

More than a flag, it's a symbol of remembrance, resilience, and unity—a piece of history you can hold. Purchase yours today: https://ow.ly/LH1W50ZabLL

Every 11th of the month, we pause to look up.

The sky has become a powerful symbol of 9/11 memories — of a clear September morning, of lives lost, and of resilience that endures.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. As we approach that milestone, we continue to honor those we lost and reflect on how remembrance connects us across time and place.

In the aftermath of 9/11, sports teams in New York and around the country supported a grieving nation, brought us together to heal, and helped us cheer again. Yesterday, we were honored to welcome the New York Giants to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum for a special visit, where players and staff, some too young to remember September 11, 2001, paid tribute to those killed and learned from the stories shared in the Museum.

An American flag flown over the Memorial was presented to Coach John Harbaugh in remembrance and as an enduring symbol of unity. 25 years later, the Giants’ visit affirms our promise to never forget all those killed, honor the courage shown in the face of tragedy, and preserve the stories of compassion and service for future generations.

The 9/11 Memorial and Museum has launched a $75 million fundraising campaign as the nonprofit tries to educate the millions of U.S. youth who don’t remember the terror attacks.

06/03/2026

100 million Americans are too young to remember September 11, 2001 – but the legacy of those who were killed and all who responded lives on. That’s why the work we do to commemorate, educate, and inspire is more important than ever.

As we prepare to commemorate the 25th anniversary of 9/11 this September, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum is launching a new campaign to reach a new generation of visitors, learners, and supporters for the future.
