Text 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.

Who did have the authority?

So, the investigators themselves didn't have authority to save the steel? Good question. Who DID have the authority then?

And since the investigators themselves couldn't save the steel, how can people claim that there was a thourough investigation of the steel?

Also, could you source that quote please for verification? Thanks.
