An excellent account on how the area, buildings, and wreckage of WTC were dismantled and shipped to Staten Island with care due to environmental worries and even including all NYC and NYS bureaucracies.

Never forget.

By the first reporter granted total access to Ground Zero-and the 9 months he spent there among rescue and construction workers

The Washington Post says:
"An extraordinary story...Langewiesche...was the only reporter granted total access to Ground Zero...He spent nine months there and emerged to write American Ground...It is an amazing piece of journalism, full of colorful characters and astonishing scenes."

This was serialized in the Atlantic Monthly, and the parts I read were like a magazine article.
