This is a picture of the antennae on one of the twin towers. It was recovered from the tragic explosion on September 11th, 2001. This is one of the many very important artifacts that were in the Newseum. In the Newseum, there was a running 4D movie as well. It told stories of the past. In one of these skits, there was the story of a man who fought against the redcoats. You could feel the gunshots as your seat vibrated, and smell the gunpowder as shots were fired.
In another one of these skits, there was the story of a girl named Nellie Bly, who wished to become a news reporter. In order to do so, she had to report on an asylum for mentally insane women. Nellie had to pretend to be insane so that she would be put at this asylum and could report on what it was like. For ten horrible days she endured physical and mental pain, but it payed off in the end because she went on to become the reporter she wanted to be. The newseum was a very cool place to experience here in Washington, DC!
