Very powerful stuff.

This times infinity.

I was reading a little about it earlier on CNN, and one of the curators was talking how to display the horror of the day but also keeping from overwhelming people - like the fire helmet in the slideshow makes you know just how traumatic the event was that caused that damage.

The solution was to put some areas off in alcoves so it isn't right in your face, you only see it if you want to - such as the images of the people jumping from the upper floors.

I also find it amazing that they have returned all unidentified remains to the site and they are behind a wall in the museum - out of site and not accessible to the public, but can be accessed for DNA testing and such.
