Hey! I thought all the WTC steel went to China!

Looks like some's going to Indianapolis, In. for a memorial.
Project 9/11 Indianapolis began early in 2010 by Greg Hess, a City of Indianapolis firefighter/paramedic as a grass roots effort to establish a permanent Memorial dedicated to those killed in the collapse of the World Trade Center, the crash of aircraft in Shanksville, Pennsylvania and the Pentagon.

In 2001, Greg was a member of Indiana Task Force 1, one of the first FEMA Search & Rescue teams to arrive at Ground Zero. INTF-1 spent 8 days in New York assisting the local agencies in the rescue and recovery efforts.

In 2010, Greg petitioned the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to obtain 2 steel beams from the World Trade Center.

And they'll be escorted through another city on the way there.
Two beams from the wreckage of the World Trade Center in New York City are expected to come through Richmond this spring en route to Indianapolis, where a memorial is planned to those who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Indianapolis firefighter Greg Hess is leading the project in Indiana, called Project 9/11 Indianapolis, with plans to dedicate the memorial Sept. 11, 2011 -- the 10-year anniversary of the terrorist attack.

The beams will have an escort of police and fire vehicles and motorcycles from veterans organizations as they come through Richmond on the morning of April 9.

So, if I head to Richmond, In., wait for the motorcade, and then jump out and try to rub it for a sample of microspheres :D, think I'll get arrested?

In all seriousness: This gives yet more lie to the myth that all the steel was hurriedly shipped away so as to cover up a plot. Some is quite obviously still available. (Cue goalpost move about this not mattering because the "important pieces" (lol) were shipped off... seriously, who doesn't think that'd be the excuse given?)
 
Also, some of the steel was used in the construction of the new USS New York.
 
here is a lovely chunk of WTC steel in the Staten Island Botanical Garden. You can even scape a little bit of dust off to test for super-nano-radio-thermatic-crap.

A good hunk of it is about 15 Miles from me in Sacramento, in a memorial at the California State Fair Grounds (Cal Expo).

I hope not.

If I were a museum curator and I saw someone scraping an artifact on display, he'd be getting an elbow smash to the face.

Yeah, exactly. Something conspiracy peddlers choose to ignore.

Of course, for them, the point is that is can no longer be examined. Which is a red herring if there ever was one; so many other pieces of evidence lay unremarked upon (like the steel that was mentioned in the NIST report) that anything determined from it would simply be ignored in favor of anomalous point details blown all out of proportion to their actual, genuine significance.

Dude... your car's a junker. I mean, look at it! There's an arrow pointing right at it! :p

Again, something that gives lie to the claim that it's all shipped away.

Oh... that explains my treatment at the Louvre. You see, I had this theory about the Mona Lisa and... :D
 
There's a piece at a memorial in Loveland, Ohio. I would figure that local loon Adam Syed, who apparently teaches music in Loveland, would have chipped away at it for samples of superthermute.

:confused:

and then you would be arrested for assault and battery. and likely convicted for said crimes and face jail time.

If I am not mistaken there is also steel from ground zero at the Peace Gardens between Manitoba and North Dakota.
 
"Nearly 350,000 tons of World Trade Center steel have travelled throughout the country to be reused in small and large scale tributes remembering the events of September 11th. With the 10 year anniversary quickly approaching, and the much anticipated unveiling of the World Trade Center Memorial in NYC on the horizon, cities all over the country will be debuting their own monuments that will each incorporate the reclaimed rubble.

"After September 11th, most of the World Trade Center steel was trucked off to New Jersey salvage yards where it was broken down and sent all over the world for reuse. However, over 1,000 pieces of debris were placed in a JFK airport hangar for the Port Authority to oversee. Recently, the PA announced a program to distribute the steel to anyone who requested it for a 9/11 memorial site. The requirements were the memorial be public and free of admission charge, and the interested party would handle its own steel transportation. With nearly 2,000 applicants, the program has assisted in erecting 225 September 11th memorials throughout the country."

350,000 tons "reused in small and large scale tributes" is a much too high number. That might be the total mass of structural steel in both towers combined.

Distributed over 225 memorials, that would be over 1000 tons per memorial. How many truckloads? :p

Yes, I should have double-checked that bit.

This article (posted by a truther site) says: "Into the towers rising from the excavation are going some 200,000 pieces of steel having a total weight of about 200,000 tons (about 1/5 of the total weight of the structures)".

So they got that figure completely wrong.

Still, 1000 pieces for the memorials would weigh about 1000 tons.

And that's still 1000 pieces / 225 memorials of very large specks of dust.
 
If you change "tons" to "pounds" I think that would be a believable number.
 
There's also a piece of WTC steel inside the Times Square police station.
