BETH FERTIG reporting:
The Trade Center wreckage is being housed in hangar 17 at John F. Kennedy Airport. The gray concrete floors stand in stark relief against the dark red beams and columns that are 30 to 50 feet long, lying down, covered in plastic.
Ms. FERTIG: Gatt has been watching for any signs of deterioration. Cracks emerged over a year ago and they're now marked with tiny green pins to monitor the slightest change. The humidity and temperature in this room are tightly controlled. Preservationists have taken similar steps for other important pieces.
One is a 35-foot-long column. It's lying on its side like a relic from some other civilization, covered with messages from the recovery workers at the World Trade Center site. Amory Houghton, who manages the preservation project, shows where Port Authority police painted the number 37 in blue, representing the number of officers who died on 9/11.
Mr. AMORY HOUGHTON (Manager, World Trade Center Preservation project): They covered it with about five coats of paint, and then they put, you know, and then they stenciled the 37 on it. So, as you can see, this paint was literally flaking off.
Ms. FERTIG: Gatt and his crew spent six months restoring this column. They mounted some paint chips with magnets and injected others with a solution to prevent more chipping.
Interesting isn't it folks?
So whose to argue about those "chips" other than those Truthers?
