9/11 Museum in NYC: Who's been?

Went yesterday for my first time and all I can say is wow. The museum is set up very well such that you go level by level below where the WTC was and gave me a great perspective on the events of 9/11. From being 11 at the time to now being 25, I really wanted to go to get a better sense of what exactly happened, how people reacted, and how we moved forward. Don't think I've felt so many emotions of hatred, disgust, pride, sadness all at once. If you do plan on going, take the time to mentally prepare for it because watching a video of the planes hitting the towers wasn't easy then and still wasn't yesterday.
Lastly, to the tiger fan and his son visiting from nola who wished my family a merry christmas at the end of the museum, merry christmas to you and your family as well.
God bless america

I went to the memorial before the museum was finished. I just started college when it happened, really made me sad. Don't know if I ever want to go back, but probably will to bring my daughter and see the museum.

I went when I traveled to the LSU game in Syracuse. Very surreal feeling in there. Listening to the phone calls from people on the plane to their families was intense.

I've been and it is very good. I would suggest getting the earliest time slot possible and budgeting at least 3 hours to go through the whole museum. Not the same experience when its crowded and you are rushed.
I'd also like to see them close off the outside fountain areas to the public or at least limit the number of people allowed in at a given time. Given what happened there, many of the foreigners were treating it very casually and somewhat disrepectful. Its odd how serene the museum is, but how poorly managed the fountains are.

Yea was in nyc last week and went Wednesday. Definitely a must stop when visiting there. Most emotional I've felt in a long time especially listing to the phone calls of passengers of the flights calling their s/o's knowing they'll never see them again. The whole museum brought a more real experience to the events that happened that day

I was living in NYC during 9/11 and I still live here now. I have not been to the museum, and I honestly don't know if I ever will go.

went back in october, and I do recommend going for anyone else who hasn't gone.
It got real emotional for some at the Shanksville exhibit, where they played some of the messages left by the people on United 93 to their loved ones. That was a real gutbuster.

Did they have a scientific section showing us that heat doesn't melt steel nor does it interfere with its integrity?

My wife and I live here now. She watched the towers fall. I doubt we will go.

One of the coolest things was the section with all the pics of the people that got tattoos to commemorate loved ones.
Full-back masterpieces. I'm not a big tat guy, but the artwork was unbelievable.

It is pretty uncomfortable watching people take selfies and smiling photos by the footprints.
Some people lack awareness.

It has to be a completely different experience for someone that witnessed it firsthand. I live in NYC now and my fiancee works in WTC 7, scares me sometimes that she's in such a highly targetted area every day.

I was there for the first time yesterday as well. It was way more in depth than I was expecting. The slideshow of people jumping from the tower was pretty depressing. I remember one specific quote from that room about a lady who stepped out onto the ledge, fixed her skirt, then stepped off.

I went 2 years ago, incredible experience.
It was wild how you could actually touch the fire truck and other pieces they have.
The part that sticks out the most to me, was walking down that concrete staircase, which is a recovered section of the actual staircase from the tower.
ETA: My wife did good until we got to the animal/dog section

We went last year right after it opened and thought it was very moving. I agree, lots of different emotions walking around, and then to think you are inside that building. Just chilling.
I couldn't take pictures though, it seemed inappropriate to do so.

This and the video of the plane crashing into the south tower are what got me. Some of those images of people standing on the ledge waiting to jump because of the smoke

I will never forget those people jumping off. That was the most disturbing image of the whole thing.
We should all go see it instead of trying to forget. We need to remember and remember it well.

Just curious, but I wonder how this would have been recorded? I can understand the 911 calls, but not a personal call.
