History was made Monday, when a construction crew placed a steel beam high atop New York City's new "Freedom Tower". That makes the skyscraper taller than the Empire State Building, and also the latest milestone in America's recovery after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. Volunteer firefighters in Clyde have been watching the rebirth of what was "ground zero". They have a 9/11 monument out in front of their station, that includes two steel beams from the World Trade Center. One firefighter we spoke with believes "Freedom Tower" will be a beautiful structure, but will also provide an answer to terrorism and America's will to fight it. _______________ Follow WLOS on social media: WLOS ABC 13 News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/News13/ WLOS ABC 13 News on Twitter: https://twitter.com/WLOS_13 WLOS ABC 13 News on Instagram: https://instagram.com/wlos_13 Subscribe to WLOS on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/ABC13Channel/?sub_confirmation=1 Listen to AnchorMOMS, the Podcast: https://wlos.com/news/anchormoms/anchormoms-the-podcast Watch more top local news stories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk8Ge6UXHJs&list=PLkVbaoT-aYbIvnEpR0Ct5QQQqYaORUSUH For all of the day’s top local and national news, visit http://www.wlos.com Watch our live newscasts and other live video at https://wlos.com/watch Have a news tip?
