Rescue and recovery worker Donald Anderson of New York City’s Department of Design and Construction (DDC) reported to #GroundZero on Sept. 12, 2001. He worked at the site for seven days, operating in 12-hour shifts maintaining a Mobile Field Office Emergency Unit. In addition to keeping generators running and re-charging radios, computers and cell phones, he documented the scene with his camera. His photographs capture not only the incomprehensible destruction, but the cooperation and compassion of rescue and recovery workers. _____ Anderson hoped that the photographs might one day communicate to 9/11 family members the dedication and care that characterized the rescue and recovery efforts. He also wanted to make sure that children too young to understand what had occurred, including his own, as well as those not yet born, would understand what had happened that day. He later shared his archive with the #911Museum. For more photos, click the link in our bio. _____ 📷: 9/11 Memorial Museum Collection, Donald Anderson
