WASHINGTON - You may have seen a convoy of police escorting 25 large tractor trailers along Interstate 270 and the Beltway on Tuesday.
edit for incorrect snippet
The trucks are escorting several tons of steel that was recovered from Ground Zero at the World Trade Center.

That was my thought too... If I remember the OS correctly all the steel was transported out in record time for recycling by Chinese Steel corporations.
I too was under the impression that no steel was left...save the pieces that make up the memorials...
The New York, an amphibious assault ship built for the Navy and incorporating steel recovered from the collapsed World Trade Center, will be christened this weekend at the New Orleans-area shipyard where it endured Hurricane Katrina.
The $1 billion, 25,000-ton vessel is 684 feet long and 105 feet wide. It can carry a crew of 360 sailors and 700 Marines who can be delivered to shore by helicopters and landing craft.

Upon a further thought..... Can it be proven that it is the same steel that fell in the towers.... Or could it be planted evidence....?
AND WHY DID IT TAKE OVER 8 YEARS TO GET THIS DONE!!!!!!!

NIST and its contractors and collaborators recommended "action in the areas of increased structural integrity, enhanced fire endurance of structures, new methods for fire resistant design of structures, enhanced active fire protection, improved building evacuation, improved emergency response, improved procedures and practices, and education and training."
For the past three years, the steel had been at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where the events of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were reconstructed. The steel is being taken back to New York City.

Breaking !! WTC steel brought back to NYC for investigation !
For the past three years, the steel had been at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where the events of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were reconstructed. The steel is being taken back to New York City.
A spokesperson for the National Institute of Standards and Technology tells WTOP the steel beams have been at NIST Headquarters in Gaithersburg since 2002 as part of their investigation into the buildings' collapse.
The steel is being taken back to New York, where it will be kept at JFK International Airport with the rest of the building remains.

Imagine how much the controlled demo guys could save if all they had to do is smack a building with a fuel tank to bring it down. Heck, they could even duplicate the WTC7 affects and bring skyscrapers down with a few office fires and some rocks being thrown at them. silly people.
