A bronze sphere damaged during the Sept. 11 attacks is now at its permanent home overlooking the rebuilt World Trade Center site.
The 25-ton Koenig Sphere was officially placed on view Wednesday at the new Liberty Park overlooking the 9/11 memorial.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey last year approved plans to move the sculpture from its temporary place in Battery Park at Manhattan's southern tip.
The sphere once stood between the trade center's two towers.
The late German artist Fritz Koenig created the work commissioned by the Port Authority, which later lost 84 employees.
Its eternal flame honors the more than 2,700 people who died at the trade center in 2001.
The New York City medical examiner’s office has identified the 1,641st victim from the 9/11 terror attack on the World Trade Center nearly 16 years ago. Michael George reports.
