By the morning of September 12, 2001, an estimated 5,000 people had arrived at Ground Zero to assist in the rescue and recovery efforts. Each brought specialized knowledge and a commitment to serve in the face of overwhelming obstacles. As the 9/11 Memorial & Museum commemorates the 23rd anniversary of the end of these efforts, retired carpenter Ramona Diaz, former Transport Workers Union Safety Inspector Dominick Spagnolo, and former lighting technician Charles Libin join 9/11 Memorial & Museum President & CEO Beth Hillman in conversation to highlight their work, and that of their unions, during that time.
