USS New York Made From The World Trade Center Scrap Metal

Hi Pythiian1,

This was emailed me to me by a friend of mine...The comments are really his at the beginning of the article. Not sure where he got the photos done. I had not even heard of this back in 2003...not until about a week or so ago. I just pretty much thought it was a great use of all the scrap metal from that terrible day...And pretty much show's the Terrorist and the rest of the world...that the USA still stands for Peace and Liberty...and that America can still turn something bad into something that's good a positive.

Much better Idea than to just sell off the scrap metal for money...and I think most the family's of the victims of 9/11 would agree. And I think it sends a very powerful message to all our Military personal as well as the rest of the world...That the USA is still the great country it has always been.....Its been almost 8 years....so lets us ALL not forget.

Best,

Dan

I had watched a report that showed the steel being carted away. But the steel was being carted away to inspect it. There were 200 girders, which may not seem like a lot but they were selected.

I found this report:

INVENTORY OF RECOVERED STEEL
A total of 236 recovered pieces of WTC steel were cataloged; the great majority belonging to the towers,
WTC 1 and WTC 2. These samples represented a quarter to half a percent of the 200,000 tons of
structural steel used in the construction of the two towers. The NIST inventory included pieces from the
impact and fire regions, perimeter columns, core columns, floor trusses, and other pieces such as truss
seats and wind dampers.
The original, as-built locations of 42 recovered perimeter panels and 12 recovered core columns were
determined, based on markings and geometry of the columns. Samples were available of all 12 strength
levels of perimeter panel steel, the two strength levels of the core column steel that represented 99 percent
of the total number of columns, and both strength levels used in the floor trusses.
A number of structural pieces were recovered from locations in or near the impact- and fire-damaged
regions of the towers, including four perimeter panels directly hit by the airplane and three core columns
located within these areas. These pieces provided opportunity for failure and other forensic analyses.
The collection of steel from the WTC towers was sufficient for determining the quality of the steel and, in
combination with published literature, for determining mechanical properties as input to models of
building performance.
