NYC DDC 9/11
Within days of 9/11, the NYC Department of Design and Construction was tasked with clearing 1.8 million tons of debris from Ground Zero. Twenty years later, employees who still work for this relatively unknown agency tell their story. The sights, smells, and demands of the job still haunt them. Their success in getting it done and bringing back their city remains their greatest achievement.
