  "summary": "The keys to the World Trade Centre, along with other artefacts belonging to 9/11 survivor Hugh Smith, will go on display at the Cavan County Museum this weekend. Smith, who is originally from Termon in Cavan, survived the collapse of the Twin Towers and worked as a carpenter on the construction of the World Trade Centre for 27 years before the 2001 terrorist attack. He is credited with helping other survivors escape and dedicating himself to the recovery operation. Before his death in April 2025, Smith bequeathed these items to the Cavan County Museum, which is hosting an exhibition to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. The exhibition includes a cross made from the building's steel girders, the keys to the World Trade Centre, and Smith's hard hat. The Smith family, who are visiting from the United States, are visiting for a private ceremony for Hugh Smith's family. The exhibition, which opens to the public on Saturday, is a permanent reminder of Smith's work in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks and a testament to his resilience and dedication.",
