The World; WTC Scrap Is Hazardous, Activists Say; Asia: Greenpeace complains that the metal is contaminated and endangering recyclers in India
"This is not normal demolition steel scrap," said Anantha Padmanabhan, executive director of Greenpeace India. "Just look at the circumstances in which the twin towers came down. High- temperature incineration with jet fuel has taken place. This is incineration steel."

Yesterday Police Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik confirmed a report in The New York Post that investigators were looking into accusations that organized crime figures, in the confusion after the attack, had carted away as much as 250 tons of scrap metal to yards in New Jersey and on Long Island. Mr. Kerik said the metal had been recovered.
Other key discoveries this week is the minimum temperature of the softening of steel.
"Dr. Astaneh-Asl is quoted that 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit is the point the crystal structure of steel shifts to a softer, weaker form"
That is above the maximum heat temperature of Jet Fuel at 1,500.

and there has been some concern whether there would be another chance before
the steel is destroyed.

Is Dr. Astaneh-Asl talking about nukes inside WTC 7
1. Dr. Astaneh-Asl is quoted that 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit is the point the crystal structure of steel shifts to a softer, weaker form therefore jet fuel can't weaken steel beams
2. fireproofing melted into a glassy residue. Heat was beyond normal..
3. Parts of the flat top of the I, once five-eighths of an inch thick, had vaporized.
4. Witness Big Flash (nuke)
"Bill Rositi ? bill Rosati he was here when it all happened he saw it for himself bill if you can just tell us what you saw what you heard I was standing like two blocks away and all of sudden I just seen a big flash and then I seen the building coming down and I just seen people just running everywhere chaotic like" 5:55 WPIX 5:55pm

Jet Fuel Can't Weaken Steel Beams by Dr. Astaneh-Asl
FACT: Jet fuel burns at 800° to 1500°F, not hot enough to melt steel (2750°F). Dr. Astaneh-Asl is quoted that 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit is the point the crystal structure of steel shifts to a softer, weaker form therefore Jet Fuel Can't Weaken Steel Beams.. It is 100 degrees too cold to weaken steel beams..
"Dr. Astaneh-Asl said that in some places, the fireproofing melted into a glassy residue. (how hot was that?)
Dr. Astaneh-Asl also hopes to send samples of steel to Dr. Claudia P. Ostertag, a professor of civil engineering at Berkeley, for metallurgical testing. Above about 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit, the crystal structure of steel shifts to a softer, weaker form. (is the point steel weakens?)
It is not possible to see this change of crystal structure directly, but with an electron microscope it is possible to deduce how much a piece of steel has been heated (and) for how long."

Engineers seek to test steel before it is melted for reuse
The New York Times. (Sept. 29, 2001): L, News: pB9.
Full Text:
The huge steel columns and beams of the World Trade Center are being hauled off to be melted and recycled before engineers can inspect the twisted metal, which they say could hold important clues on how to build safer skyscrapers in the future.
The city has signed a contract that allows two New Jersey firms to recycle the estimated 310,000 tons of steel from the trade center site, including some 90,000 tons from each tower.
Kenneth Holden, commissioner of the department of design and construction, said the deal would help to recoup at least a tiny part of the original value of the towers and to dispose of the wreckage in an environmentally responsible way. He could not provide an estimate for the value of the steel. Ultimately the money would probably go to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which owned the buildings.
But some engineers, including a team assembled by the American Society of Civil Engineers, say that examination of the steel could allow them to piece together the precise chain of events that led to the collapse of the buildings.
''If we don't collect the unbelievably valuable data, it will be a second tragedy,'' said Dr. Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl, professor of structural engineering at the University of California at Berkeley and a member of the engineering society's team. Dr. Astaneh-Asl is also the recipient of one of eight grants awarded yesterday by the National Science Foundation to investigate the disaster.
Commissioner Holden said that while agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the office of the city medical examiner did inspect the steel for crime scene clues and human remains, no engineering examinations were taking place.
Mr. Holden said that while he would probably not object to allowing engineers to perform such examinations, his first priority was clearing the site so that human remains might be recovered.
''Our focus right now is moving steel out to see if we can find bodies alive or dead,'' Mr. Holden said.
Some of the steel is already being cut up for recycling at the two firms that were awarded contracts: Hugo Neu Schnitzer East in Jersey City and Metal Management of Newark.
''We thought they were going to be held for at least a while until we could get to them,'' said Dr. W. Gene Corley, senior vice president of Construction Technologies Laboratories in Skokie, Ill., and the leader of a 12-member team from the civil engineering society that would like to study the wreckage. ''If they're recycling all of it, that would make it more difficult.''
Dr. Corley said it was most important to set aside the parts of buildings that were near the spots where the airplanes slammed into them.
How the girders bent could tell the engineers which part of the buildings failed first. Microscopic analysis of the steel could tell them how hot the fires burned. Taken together, such information could yield insights on how to construct buildings that are more resistant to attack.
''These failures occurred very quickly, and some of the evidence for this is contained in those columns and beams,'' said Dr. Richard J. Fragaszy, program director in civil and mechanical systems at the National Science Foundation.
The two recycling firms said that they would be willing to accommodate the inspections if they could be done quickly, but that they were not aware of the project.
''If they want representative samples, I think that's fine,'' said Bob Kelman, senior vice president and general manager of Hugo Neu Schnitzer. ''We'd be happy to assist.''
The trade center steel has attracted interest in other quarters. Yesterday Police Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik confirmed a report in The New York Post that investigators were looking into accusations that organized crime figures, in the confusion after the attack, had carted away as much as 250 tons of scrap metal to yards in New Jersey and on Long Island. Mr. Kerik said the metal had been recovered. In any case, such small amounts of steel are unlikely to have a significant impact on the recycling operation or on any engineering inspections, should they eventually take place.
James A. Rossberg, director of the civil engineering society's Structural Engineering Institute, said he had tried to contact the city this week about the possibility of doing the inspections.
But Mr. Holden said he had not received that request. In the aftermath of the attack, phone lines running to the city's command center near ground zero were often not working properly and city officials had to deal with more immediate crises. Mr. Rossberg said he faxed the request again yesterday.
''We're trying not to be intrusive, certainly,'' he said, adding that there were ''a number of issues that are taking much greater priority.''
Still, some engineers said that the analysis effort should not hamper recovery work and that if it were not undertaken soon, important information would be destroyed.
Late yesterday, Mr. Holden said that the request from the society had finally reached him. ''I just got handed a letter literally 60 seconds ago,'' Mr. Holden said at 5:40 p.m. He said he would consider the request over the weekend.
