What
to expect?
The museum has a collection of photographs taken on that day by some
of the best journalists. It reveals what happened on that day through stories
from those who survived the attack. How it felt to lose a loved one and better
still you get to see some of the gear used on that day.
The
movie ‘SECONDS FROM DISASTER’ which re-enacts what happened on the August 7th
1998 bombing is also part of the museum package.
