This desk clock, destroyed in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, is stopped at 9:04, almost exactly the time that the South Tower was hit. A Birmingham, Alabama-based FBI Special Agent was inspired to donate the clock, which was found during the Fresh Kills recovery operation, after seeing the television documentary "Relics From the Rubble" on The History Channel. This program discussed the New-York Historical Society's collecting efforts surrounding the 9/11/01 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.

DescriptionCrushed and broken desk clock. Hands stopped at 9:04.
