Build upon the ruins of the past
Picked this up at Blackfive ... you have GOT to read the whole thing. Comments too. You have heard about some of the steel from the Trade Center Towers being sold as scrap to China and other iron-mongers. Here is a good use:
- Steel Forged Into The USS NEW YORK.
From rubble to avenging angel: The U.S. Navy is using steel from the World Trade Center in a new ship, according to the Navy.
Ten tons of steel from the World Trade Center’s twin towers will be used in the construction of the USS New York, according to a Navy official.
The San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock is slated to be commissioned in 2008.
“USS New York will ensure that all New Yorkers and the world will never forget the evil attacks of September 11, and the courage and compassion New Yorkers showed in response to terror,” said New York Gov. George Pataki at the ship’s 2002 naming.
