[9/11 Memorial & Museum @Sept11Memorial]

Today marks the 28th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 and injured more than 600 – the deadliest act of terrorism on U.S. soil prior to 9/11. Relatives of Oklahoma City victims came to serve as a great source of strength for those who lost loved ones in the 2001 attacks, underscoring the healing power of kindness in the face of unimaginable tragedy. With tremendous gratitude, we remember the nine members of the @FDNY and @NYPDnews who participated in the Oklahoma City recovery efforts and were later killed on 9/11. We are proud to share, with the Oklahoma City National Memorial Museum, an unwavering commitment to demonstrating the horrors of extremism and the sanctity of every life taken in an act of mass violence.

From the Collection: Recovered door from @NYPDnews Emergency Service Unit Squad 1 truck, damaged on 9/11. The artifact was featured in the @OKCNM exhibition “Shared Experiences,” which chronicled Oklahomans’ support for the 9/11 community as well as similarities in the response to both terrorist attacks.
