On the morning of September 11^th, the Port Authority Police Department was the first uniformed service agency to respond to the attack on the World Trade Center. As Night Commander of the WTC Rescue and Recovery Operation, Lt. William Keegan alongside representatives from the NYPD, FDNY, the Office of Emergency Management, as well as the Medical Examiner’s Office, operating engineers, ironworkers and others, began the most intense experience of their lives: the recovery mission at Ground Zero.

 Closure documents Keegan’s unique experiences at the site, bringing to light some of the stories that have never been told.  It tells the unforgettable story of their sacrifice and valor. It is also the story of a man who returned to the site, day in and day out, until it closed on May 30, 2002, when there were no more bodies to be found and the dust began to settle, as he learned to make his own peace with all that he had seen there.
