To myself, I debated whether or not I wanted to publish this. Most of the "commemorations" of the 9/11 attacks seem like mindless chatter or grandstanding to me; I can scarcely stand to hear anything about it save from people--or their families or friends--who were directly affected by it.
But I thought this photo would be a simple yet eloquent reminder of what happened on that day:
These bicycles and the rack were retrieved from the wreckage of the Twin Towers and are now housed, along with other items recovered from the World Trade Center, in Hangar 17 of John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Some of these bikes are twisted, almost mangled. But they are still locked to the rack. People rode them--probably to work--and locked them to the rack, where they will probably stay forever.
