Steel Across America Tour Brings WTC Steel Beam to Fenway Park Ahead of 25th Anniversary

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation's Steel Across America tour brought its 21-foot, 16,900-pound steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center's South Tower to Boston's Fenway Park on the night of a Red Sox–Mariners game, letting fans view the artifact in the final days before the 25th anniversary. Attendees included a longtime Fenway vendor whose wife lost a roommate in the attacks, and a former American Airlines employee of 30 years who had staffed Flights 11 and 77 — the two aircraft hijacked from Boston's Logan Airport. The tour, which launched in Lower Manhattan in May 2026 and has covered more than 10,500 miles across 21 states with 35+ stops, continued on to the Massachusetts Fallen Heroes Memorial (Sept. 4) and a private event in Washington, D.C. (Sept. 5), before a Brooklyn stop on Sept. 11 and a final appearance at MetLife Stadium for the Giants–Cowboys game on Sept. 13.
