9/11 Recovery Efforts

The 9/11 recovery efforts involved removing debris, searching for survivors, and cleaning contaminated sites at Ground Zero, the site of the World Trade Center collapse. Specialized teams used heavy machinery, technology, and trained personnel to clear debris and recover remains. They also conducted environmental cleanup to address hazardous materials, ensuring the safety of workers and residents. Over time, efforts shifted toward rebuilding and commemorating those lost, including constructing the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. These efforts aimed to restore safety, honor victims, and support community resilience.
