WTC Steel Returns From NIST To New York
By: Doug CaverlyFriday, October 2nd, 2009 at 5:24 pm
More World Trade Center wreckage joined the collection the Port Authority already kept at Kennedy International Airport this week. Pieces were trucked in from the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
The pieces had been in the care of the NIST so that they could undergo testing and help with the investigation concerning the cause of the World Trade Center’s collapse. (It seems safe to assume that they did a bit of sitting around and collecting dust, too, in the span of eight years).
Now, as Terri Sanginiti reported, “A convoy of 25 flatbed tractor-trailers carrying twisted steel from the World Trade Center drove through Delaware . . . with a state police escort headed for Kennedy International Airport in New York. . . . The contents of steel are bound for Hangar 17 at the airport to be preserved with other artifacts recovered from the World Trade Center.”
Many of the trucks bearing the pieces displayed flags and “Never Forget” banners. Other motorists sometimes pulled over out of respect, or at least to take pictures.
Given the rate at which the Port Authority has started to pass out World Trade Center artifacts, it may not be long before some of the pieces are brought back out of storage and integrated into memorials, either.

What is the hold up of this so called “Freedom Tower”….The Twin Towers should be erected again not replaced because of an “Evil Religion”..
Now we have a president showing special attention to the same people who destroyed the WTC simply to show they plan to take over greatest nation on earth. This president Obama has showed his true colors and his loyalty to Islam. He did warn every American that there will be a Place in his administration for his brothers of Islam. He is Muslum.
This delay of the Freedom Tower will have some connection to the New Mosque Obama and other evil politicians have openly supported…..We have enough enimies in the world without having elected enemies in our own gobernment.

What on earth does it take to get this hopelessly compromised, mediocre, designed-by committe David Childs dus moving? It’s talking so long, this site doesn’t even update it’s time-stamped graphics (8-year anniversary?). The “News” updates page hasn’t been updated since 2007. This is pathetic.

Hello my name is Hannah Marren, I’m 13 and from England.
This means so much to me because even though i was only 5 i always scince i saw it for the first time wanted to go The World Trade Center. When I finally go to new york i want to help out in the freedom tower when its built or even help build it but i know that wont happen. Bringing back the framework is a sad/happy momenet because it means yes the towers have gone but they still remain in our herats and will always stay in new york.
Im sorry for saying this but i always imadgined that if they rebuilded i alsways dreamed of building the last two with an extra floor for the memorial. youll see me in new york soon nothing can stop me from coming to the place ive always wanted to see.
