Steel Beam Remembers 9 11 Sacrifice | Venice Beach News

A sixteen-thousand-pound steel beam from the World Trade Center’s South Tower is on a solemn 10,000-mile journey across America, commemorating 25 years since 9/11. Stopping in Los Angeles, New York FD honored LA’s first responders—especially those who battled deadly wildfires in early 2025—and remembered the L.A. crews who came to New York after 9/11 to aid in recovery. Retired firefighter John LaBarbera shared heartfelt thanks for that support, which let New York responders grieve their fallen. The tour continues through California, then heads to Washington and Utah, culminating back at Ground Zero on September 11. This beam, carrying the memory of nearly 3,000 lives lost—including three New York State court officers—is more than metal—it’s a living tribute to resilience and remembrance.
