The new Navy assault ship USS New York, built with World Trade Center steel, arrived in its namesake city Monday with a 21-gun salute near the site of the 2001 terrorist attack. Is it a depressing reminder of that horrible day, or is it a triumph over terrorism, showing our nation's ability to bounce back from adversity?

I got this in an email with pictures included. It was way cool.

Since all of the steel was shipped off before it could be processed as evidence, being that the WTC was a crime scene, I thinking that it's a federal crime that will never be prosecuted.

"Evidence"? "Crime scene"? The WTC site was a war zone, not a simply crime scene.
gregaj7 to Iamfree November 04, 2009 20:21:38

Was the evidence properly processed, or was it shipped off before it could be properly processed?

What evidence are you talking about? Two big planes struck two big buildings. The two big buildings crashed to the ground. Al-Qaeda claimed responsibility, and the footsteps of the hijackers confirmed it. What evidence are you thinking was lost?
gregaj7 to Iamfree November 04, 2009 21:06:19

To my knowledge, the remnants of the buildings were not properly processed as evidence of the crime that you described. It was piled up, shipped to Japan and sold as scrap. That's not processing evidence of a crime scene, that's covering up a crime.

Again, why do you keep calling it "crime scene"? It was a war site, no different than the Arizona in Pearl Harbor. Should the Arizona be hauled to the surface and processed as a "crime scene"?

Might not be a bad idea, but I speak from a strictly legal perspective.

The best way to honor all the lives that were lost on 9/11. A very fitting tribute.
Turtle Chell November 03, 2009 21:31:41

I think is a very good thing for us to do, recycle the materials into a nice memorial.

Just like the phoenix being reborn from it's ashes.
Mugahead November 03, 2009 20:42:34

Triumphant and a message! But as a Christian, I’m not sure it’s the best message. But then again I’m not sure of what message is the best message in this case. I don’t truly have an good answer on this one.
kitkat42 November 03, 2009 20:09:43

I think it was a fitting tribute and very heart warming. Nothing depressing about it.
Zorro November 03, 2009 19:53:48

What an insult, considering that
tooner259 November 03, 2009 19:13:01

I`ve wondered if this may cause the ship to be"haunted"?
We sailors are a supersticious lot.
Kim November 03, 2009 19:03:47

It is sad that all that steel was available in the first place, but it is very touching
QueliKelly November 03, 2009 18:48:41

i don´t like it. i think that kind of stuff should be preserved in a more respectful way. it seems almost offensive to turn the product of the biggest terrorist attack in history into a silly boat. standing on that thing would feel to me like standing on top of dead bodies.
Civic_Minded November 03, 2009 18:39:19

So glad the USS New York is home!

Let us never forget what happened on 9/11!
Some are afraid to acknowledge the truth. See blog:
