WTC Survivor Staircase Moves Again At Ground Zero

NEW YORK (AP) ― A staircase people used to escape the World Trade Center during the Sept. 11, 2001, attack has been moved for a second time on the ground zero site.

The 22-foot-high survivors' staircase was moved Saturday from the northwest corner of the site into a seven-story pit closer to the memorial.

Authorities say they plan to install the staircase at the entrance to the Sept. 11 museum.

The staircase had been the last aboveground remnant of the original trade center complex after the terrorist attacks. It was first moved in March to make way for a new skyscraper.

Preservationists and survivors lobbied for years to not move the staircase at all.
