The steel that once made up the World Trade Center towers was recently moved back to the Pennsylvania city of Coatesville, where they were originally made. It took 28 flatbed trucks, which stretched a mile long, to carry the steel back. Fire trucks were also involved in this large procession as they flashed their lights for hundreds of onlookers to see. One resident says that he is happy to take them in but says that they certainly did not want them back. Officials are saying that they hope to use the steel for a centerpiece at the industrial history museum.
The bringing back of the steel beams is a very interesting thing to do with them rather than just get rid of them or let them sit. It seems like a very good idea to use them to construct some sort of special display in the museum. It will be a very good commemorative piece of construction that have a ton of meaning to everyone in this country and I'm sure it will attract many people. I, however, agree with the resident who says he did not want the steel back. I find it kind of pointless to take the time and money to return them to their original city when its only steel. I can see the significance of the steel and such but still don't see the need to completely move them. The moving clearly had no harm and it will definitely turn out to be very interesting and have a ton of meaning but the same could have come out of it without the hassel of moving all that steel.
