Dr W. Gene Corley, head of the building performance assessment team, in his testimony to the House of Representatives:"The guy" is wrong.
"There has been some concern expressed by others that the work of the team has been hampered because debris was removed from the site and has subsequently been processed for recycling. This is not the case. The team has had full access to the scrap yards and to the site and has been able to obtain numerous samples. At this point there is no indication that having access to each piece of steel from the World Trade Center would make a significant difference to understanding the performance of the structures."
I believe he was speaking about the towers. I'm sure the investigators into WTC 7's collapse would have wanted more steel from that building to be available. Again: context, people! Building 7 was not the main concern, and had you been in New York at the time, you would know that virtually everyone wanted the site cleaned up ASAP, especially where human remains were less likely to be found.
