FILE - In this U.S. Navy file photo of May 28, 2002, cleanup and recovery workers carefully lower a steel beam, the last piece of debris to be removed from Ground Zero in a ceremony at the World Trade Center disaster site in New York.

Kennedy International Airport, will become part of the planned National Sept. 11 Memorial & Museum.
