Bullets (And Naval Boats) Over Broadway

Interesting story regarding the use of ten tons ("tonnes" to you British, Canadian, New Zealander, and Australian readers) of steel removed from the World Trade Center site to be used in the construction of the new Navy warship New York. There's a tradition of this type of thing in American history, for a statue of George III was pulled down five days after the singing of the Declaration of Independence and turned into grapeshot for the Continental Army. The statue used to sit on Bowling Green, the last downtown Manhattan stop, and less than a mile from the World Trade Center, at the end of Broadway.
