Wreckage From 9-11 Attacks Travels to Nixon Library: MyFoxLA.com

Less than a week before the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, steel beams from the World Trade Center and an FDNY fire truck which responded that day made their way to the Nixon Presidential Library and Museum.

From the Orange County Register:

The World Trade Center wreckage and the NYPD fire truck (NOTE – The Register also called it a “NYFD ladder truck” in the same article) were escorted from Ontario to Yorba Linda by a procession that included an Orange County Fire Authority helicopter hovering overhead. Its arrival marks the beginning of a weeklong remembrance at the Nixon Library, culminating with a ceremony on Sunday – the actual 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks – featuring remembrances by Orange County Sheriff Sandra Hutchens and Joe Torrillo, a FDNY lieutenant who survived the collapse of both towers.

    It's very irritating to see how poorly the reporters/writers do their research. "NYPD fire truck", "ladder truck from engine company 152". Get your story straight, you idiots.

    Seriously? He called it wreckage from ground one? What a disgrace.
