NEW YORK, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- A 60-ton steel-beam fragment has been returned to the site of New York’s World Trade Center as part of a permanent exhibit, city officials said.

The beam was the last to be removed from the site after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. While it stood, rescue and salvage workers covered it with commemorative messages and photos of those who died in the attack, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

The 36-foot fragment, which had been stored in a hangar at Kennedy Airport, was returned Monday in advance of the opening of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum.

Has this even been reported on the State Run Media TV outlets?

What about the picture of Prince Harry bowing his head in mourning at the site, was that reported anywhere either?

Great start, now bring back all the other parts and put it all back together.

Nothing, since Blackjack Pershing (Spelling?)buried few in pig guts, would send a better message.

I say they build a big (fake) missile pointing towards the Middle East.

It’s nearly 8 years later and we’ve made almost no progress on rebuilding the WTC. Another notch in the belt of government beurocracy!

That hole in the ground remains a monument to the achievement of the terrorists of the religion of peace. Build the WTC back.

Journalistic ignorance on display.

The steel structural member is actually a column, not a beam.

When I first read the headline I thought it meant the spotlights.
