This shot is from the inside of the 9-11 museum in New York. The new Freedom Tower can be seen in the background...
The towering twin steel beams were once part of the facade of the World Trade Center's south tower, sheathed in smooth aluminum. Salvaged from ground zero after the 9-11 attacks, the tridents are being resurrected and will greet visitors as they enter the pavilion of the 9-11 Memorial Museum. The remnant steel became known as tridents because the beams are crowned with three prongs.
Each is about 70-feet tall and weighs 52 tons.
