Lawyers claim cross tells a story of rescue and recovery. In this July 23, 2012 photo, World Trade Center construction workers hold hands during a prayer at a ceremony for the September 11 cross, in New York.

The lawyers said in papers filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan on Monday, Aug. 13, 2012 that the 17-foot-tall beam will be displayed as a historical object because it tells part of the story of the Sept. 11, 2001, rescue and recovery effort.
