世贸中电梯电机 将在911博物馆永久展出
原世贸中心的一个重达1万磅,每天运送上百人的电梯电机将成为2013年开馆的美国9/11博物馆的永久性展品。
展览还会讲述John Menville的故事。他于1969年来到世贸中心安装了这些电梯,并在后来的32年里负责电梯的维护。
9/11事件当天,成千上万的人,包括Menville,都使用了电梯撤离现场。当第一架飞机撞上世贸大楼时,Menville的第一反应是:要花多长时间才能修好那些电梯。
Elevator motor that helped save thousands
A 10,000-pound elevator motor that shuttled hundreds of people a day at the original World Trade Center will be part of the National September 11 Museum’s permanent exhibit when it opens in 2013.
The exhibit will also tell the story of John Menville, who arrived at the World Trade Center in 1969 to install the elevators and stayed for 32 years to maintain them.
On 9/11, thousands of people, including Menville, used the elevators to evacuate. When the first plane hit, Menville’s immediate thought was of how long it would take to repair the elevators.
