More than 2,600 artifacts were pulled from the wreckage at the World Trade Center and shipped to communities across the country to create public monuments.
Daryl Steil, who coordinated efforts to have the memorial made in Rockville, Minnesota said it's hard to explain but the melted piece of metal has a distinct effect on people.
"As we were standing around this piece of metal, I could tell that every once in a while somebody would go up to it and touch it. And I was getting the same draw," said Steil. "There are spirits there."
