This site tells about An article in The Sierra Times suggests that gold was recovered from two trucks in a tunnel under 5 World Trade Center, giving rise to suspicions that the trucks were being used to remove the gold from the vaults before the South Tower fell. 4 However, this report may have been based on an erroneous reading of other reports that describe the removal of crushed vehicles from a tunnel under 5 WTC in order to gain access to the vaults under 4 WTC to remove their contents.

Why is there this huge discrepancy between the value of gold and silver reported recovered, and the value reported to have been stored in the vaults? There are a number of possible explanations, from outright theft using the attack as cover, to insurance fraud. Until there is a genuine investigation that probes all the relevant facts and circumstances surrounding the attack, we can only speculate.

The gold, which was discovered on Tuesday, was being transported through the basement of the building on the morning of September 11. Recovery workers reached a service tunnel and discovered a ten-wheel lorry and a number of cars which had been crushed by falling steel.
Now the UK timeonline article might be wrong but it does say the gold was being transported through the basement and there are other articles stating that two trucks in the tunnel filled with gold was crushed.

I don’t care if it says lorry or truck.
The point is, the fact that the story is being filtered through at least one cultural translation indicates to me that it is probably inaccurate. Unfortunately that is common with news stories. They come off the wire and are often “rewritten” for publication, in the process inaccuracies creep in and they become unreliable.
There is no credible account that says the gold was in the trucks.

Ok and has anyone thought about motive??? so you steal this gold or make it disappear.. whatever.... and now what do you do with it? put it in some black market funds that we already have plenty of? build something super uper super secret? wtf this is all bullsh*T first of all there is scant evidence to support any type of crappy conspiracy, second why isn't there any confessions or pictures or MAJOR news articles relating to the gold being taken out after the attack? there is the one article on the 250 million but i see no facts leading to the ridiculous ideas presented here.

Mr roak state that stories did not find gold in the truck but he did not dispute story of gold being moved through the tunnel on the 911 morning.
the Picture is worth a ton of words and thats what we are seeing.
Lets see even at a conservation measure the bars weight about 100 pounds
ten to a row stacked two high at four rows deep. that about 4000 pounds a pallet.
given that some stacks are at least what ten high that 40,000 a stack.
The pallets are two by fours on side at three each. The top cover is what quarter inch ply wood. What looks so strange about soft pine wood with 40,000 pounds \
pushing down on it. How can such flimy pallets support such a weight as 40,000
pounds may be that picture is a fake or what.
