Despite its proximity to the Twin Towers, it remained structurally intact despite the visible dents and holes
caused by the debris from the airliners that crashed into the buildings and from the collapsing skyscrapers themselves.

an eternal flame as a memorial to the victims of 9/11. This unlikely 'survivor' from that infamous day has since become a major tourist attraction.
