9/11 Memorial moves through Pennsylvania in profound procession
It's a moving memorial: a sculpture of two hands grasping a piece of the rubble that came down on September 11, 2001.
Tuesday, all hands were on deck to move it.
The sculpture, designed by Sassona Norton, was originally located at the Montgomery County Courthouse. It was later moved to the Emergency Operations Center in Eagleville due to construction.
However, this new location provided no access for the public to view the gripping piece of art.
The decision was made to move it to its new home at Elmwood Park in Norristown.
The relocation effort was led by the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners and other public officials in partnership with local police and fire personnel.
Local laborers such as members of Ironworkers Local 405 also dedicated time to moving the massive monument.
They also planned a dedication ceremony on Friday, September 11, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.
Watch the video above to see powerful images from the profound procession.

Tropical Storm Rachel Expected to Impact Southern California and Surrounding States | Complex Setup
Once again, the setup remains to be very complex, so it is no surprise that the track remains difficult to pin down with now almost two areas of shift possible. A cutoff low, an upper level trough, and what remains of Rachel all have to interact, with their timing and positioning playing a major role in how this unfolds. Even small changes could shift where the deepest moisture moves, where the lifting mechanism is, where thunderstorms develop, and which areas receive the heaviest rainfall. That is why individual model runs can show noticeably different outcomes. Confidence should improve as these features evolve, but the exact track and rainfall totals still have room to change still.
