I remember hearing that when they excavated the site to build the first WTC at the site, they found the hull of another old ship then too (late 60’s or 1970).

The name of that ship was the Tyger.

It was originally discovered when a subway was being excavated in the same area in the early twentieth century.

The rudder had been on display in a case inside the World Trade Center, but was probably destroyed with the WTC on 911.

So you're saying that the men who built the WTC knew that the ground on which they were about to erect two 114 story buildings was landfill?!! WTF? In San Francisco, in the Loma Prieta quake of 1989, the only part of town where buildings collapsed was the Marina district, which was built on landfill.

Maybe this is why the towers fell.
