About the event
Engineers at Ground Zero is a documentary film that highlights the little-known role structural engineers played
following the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. While first responders have been rightfully
praised, this film focuses on the structural engineers who ensured their safety during recovery, helped stabilize
thousands of structures, and prevented the Hudson River from catastrophically flooding the NYC Subway system.

the film examines how 9/11 has influenced current building design and emergency response. It is a story to retell and
