Nearly 3,000 people who died from the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 aren't being forgotten.
ABC News’ Linsey Davis speaks with former ABC News correspondent Ann Compton, who was one of the few reporters traveling with former President George W. Bush aboard Air Force One on Sept. 11, 2001.NEW YORK -- For nearly six years, Andrea Haberman’s ashen and damaged wallet lay mostly untouched in a drawer at her parents'home, along with a partly melted cell phone, her driver's license, credit cards, checkbook and house keys.
“Each person who makes up part of that tally was an individual who lived a life,” said Jan Ramirez, the museum’s chief curator and director of collections. A woodworking square, screwdriver, pry bar and a toolbelt represent Sean Rooney, a vice president at Aon Corp. who died in the South Tower. Rooney’s essence was that of “a builder,” his sister-in-law Margot Eckert said, making the carpenter’s tools donated to the museum the “perfect antidote to the destruction.”
For Robert Chin's family, the story was about a love for playing softball. They recounted his first hit — a drive down the third-base line — playing for Fiduciary Trust International. To help savor the moment, his teammates scribbled congratulatory notes on the ball before presenting it to him. Linda Raisch-Lopez donated her bloodied patent leather heels to represent her will to survive on a day she ran for her life.
