Video: 9/11 Exhibit Comes To Union Station

"September 11: Bearing Witness To History" opens to the public on Saturday and will be at Union Station until mid-August.

The exhibit includes photographs, audio tapes and has pieces of metal from Ground Zero.
A group of first responders from Kansas City visited the exhibit Tuesday, KMBC's Erin Little reported.
"It tears your heart out -- that's the only way I can describe it. Very emotional seeing images like this," said one visitor at the exhibit.

Visitors are encouraged to write down their stories from that day. The responses will be sent to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History as part of a 9/11 archive.

"It will bring back a lot of that initial patriotism that we felt right away; the love and pride for your country that's kind of faded the last couple of years -- and it brings it right back to you," one visitor said.
