New York City's 9/11 tribute museum has announced it is being forced to close down permanently. The museum, which opened in 2006, is located just blocks from where the Twin Towers stood. However, according to the New York Post, a massive drop in visitors thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic means it can no longer make ends meet.

With all of the money that is spent by the State and City of New York someone has to step in and save this place. It was one of the darkest days in American history but in the days following our country has never been closer since the end of WW2.

Especially when you read this....

"This cannot stand. The State handed $1B+ over to the billionaire owners of the Buffalo Bills — they have to stop this," Former Secretary to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo Melissa DeRosa tweeted.

Ground Zero and its artifacts should be preserved and easily accessible near where it happened.

Great reset. You vil destroy history and like it.

I was going to say something similar but you nailed it.

9/11 was the beginning of the end.

The museum, which has had 5 million visitors from 141 countries since 2006, according to the museum's website, will be disassembled and have its precious artifacts sent elsewhere. Most will go to the New York State Museum in Albany.

The exhibits are being preserved even if the premises aren't sustainable. It sucks but that's life in the current industry.

Most will go to the New York State Museum in Albany.

And the rest will probably go to the Smithsonian, never to be heard of again.

Maybe if Liberal New York City Could just end and drop the vaccine travel mandate restrictions maybe they would have more tourists.

Yeah I'm not surprised by the lack of visitors recently, but highly surprised that no one has stepped in to make sure that the place stays open. Maybe it will happen now though, that the word is out that they will have to close.

Hell, they could probably keep it open with GoFundMe.

Especially when i see things like this....

The City of New York is looking to add a further 5,000 hotel rooms to temporarily house asylum seekers being bused up from the southern border, according to The New York Post. New York City has leased 11 hotels so far to provide temporary housing for homeless families after the population rose in the last few months, from 46,591 people last January to 52,379 as of Monday, according to DHS shelter census data analyzed by City Limits.

I was born in Queens and moved out at a young age but spent my summers in the city. Lost a cousin on 9/11 who was a firefighter that day. I watched the city go from a warzone to a city anyone could visit and it sucks it has been ruined this fast.

Klaus Schwab was in town on that day, sitting a comfortable distance away, watching it all unfold.

What are the odds?

It's probably islamophobic.

Or anti-trans or something.

*knocks down a statue, burns a book and screams REEEEEEEEEEE*

dollars to doughnuts it's just about prime real estate.
both no all three, new york city, new york state, and the federal government should keep it open.
there are all kind of monuments and museums across the country that hardly get any traffic, yet they manage to keep them open.

if they can find ways to fund bullsh@@ causes, then they can find ways to fund the visual memory of the victims.

that is unless their not wanting so many reminders of what they funded.

i have always believed that yes terrorists did the deed, but somebody else paid for it.
