On December 17th, Pentucket’s public safety 3 class, and west newbury’s fire department visited New York Cityś 9/11 memorial and museum.  At 4am on saturday, we all boarded the bus and took a 7 hour trek through a rainy blizzard into the city. Although weather conditions could’ve been better, the trip was an eye opening and interesting experience. We started the day the the museum, where no cameras were allowed inside, and then made our way uptown over to times square.
