... Minutes to level !

Time to build: 14 years (from formal proposal to finish)

They broke ground in 1966. Two or three stories went up weekly. The towers used 200,000 tons of steel and, according to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, enough concrete to run a sidewalk between New York City and Washington, D.C.

It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

    USS New York (LPD-21) is a permanent memorial of the attacks in New York and made from more than 7 tons of steel recovered from the World Trade Center believed to be from the south tower, forging an enduring alliance between her and the people of New York.
