I know that there statements to the effect that the steel from WTC was effectively examined and that lots of it was retained. I've been shown this news story that asserts serious flaws in the process. Does anyone know if this citation is accurate and if there is context that the Twoofers have conveniently left out?
Some 185,101 tons of structural steel have been hauled away from Ground Zero. Most of the steel has been recycled as per the city's decision to swiftly send the wreckage to salvage yards in New Jersey. The city's hasty move has outraged many victims' families who believe the steel should have been examined more thoroughly. Last month, fire experts told Congress that about 80% of the steel was scrapped without being examined because investigators did not have the authority to preserve the wreckage. ( N.Y.
