The Tridents

These are the two "Tridents" of the World Trade Center's "Twin Towers", destroyed in the 9/11 terrorist attack in New York City.

 

They formed the 7-story steel support structure of the original facade of the Twin Towers, forming the perimeter of the lower floors.

 

Today, they are the focal point of the 9/11 Memorial Museum at the original site of the Twin Towers. They are so large (70 feet high, 22.5m) that the Museum's Pavilion had to be built around them.
