The weird face now holding the name of “Angel of 9/11” shocked viewers after appearing on a piece of debris taken from the spot of the horrible terrorist attack that left the world silent in 2001.

The haunting face appears as if it had eyes and a wide-opened mouth staring from the twisted piece of steel. The impact steel part was taken from the North Tower after the planes struck the Twin Towers and caused one of the world's biggest tragedies.

The disturbing appearance was spotted by construction workers from the 9/11 Memorial and Museum in New York City. The memorial, featuring two identical waterfalls, was built on the spot where the two towers used to stand tall, in the memory of the 2,977 victims of the attack.

New York's $715 ($€527) million construction is filled with heart-breaking stories from the victims' families, last-minute calls and messages and pieces of memories scattered to the ground after the crash. Besides the stories exhibited in the museum, there are pieces of debris recovered from the crash site and showed to the public, to picture the magnitude of the force that struck the buildings.

The so-called “Angel of 9/11” appears on one of the centerpieces of the collection, a 30-foot (9.1 meters) girder taken from the exact spot where the tip of the American Airlines Flight 11 hit the building. The Impact Steel piece shocked the workers discovering it, who were scared to approach the monument.

“It sent people around the site running wild. No one is allowed near the structure, the lighting has not been altered – it just happened by itself. We've never seen anything like it,” one of the workers said according to DailyMail.

The terrible 9/11 attack was a shock for everyone, the damages were enormous and the pain caused by the lost lives was ever worse. The memorial was designed to commemorate all the people affected by the incident, and names of the victims are written all over the twin waterfalls.
