WTC Steel Beams to Be Installed for 9/11 Museum

(AP)  Steel columns salvaged from the rubble of the World Trade Center are heading back to ground zero.

Two 70-foot columns taken from the wreckage of the north tower are being permanently installed Tuesday at the entrance to the Sept. 11 museum.

The 50-ton columns have three prongs and are known as tridents. They made up the facade at the tower's entrance. For the past few years they've been kept at a hanger at John F. Kennedy International Airport with other material recovered from the destroyed World Trade Center site.

The $45 million museum is being built below the 8-acre memorial plaza. It's set to open next year.

Two 70-foot columns taken from the wreckage...? Don't you mean "removed from the scene of a crime"? This is most likely just a PR/cover story for what really happened: The evidence being immediately & hurriedly cut & shipped to China before there could be ANY analysis to determine the real cause of this tragedy. That's fact, ask any groundZero worker in the first two weeks. Thanks W, Cheney, and Rudy, y'all should be very proud of a job well done.
