According to an Associated Press report by Joann Loviglio, more than two dozen flatbed trucks loaded with 500 tons of WTC structural steel has arrived in Coatesville, Pa., where the massive supports called "steel trees" were made more than four decades ago, forged by Lukens Steel Co. in 1969.
Who supplied the steel for the Twin Towers?
Coatesville was the home of Lukens Steel, a now-defunct steel company, which manufactured much of the steel used in the World Trade Center. Last year, 20 support columns salvaged from the WTC wreckage were trucked back to Coatesville.
Where is there steel from the World Trade Center?
The city trucked the debris from the disaster site, designated Ground Zero, to docks at the southern tip of Manhattan. From there the city used Department of Sanitation barges to transport the debris to the recently closed Fresh Kills Landfill in the borough of Staten Island.
