They destroyed the WTC more than 8 years ago. It took just less than 5 years to build the entire WTC back in 1966. It took 2 years to build the Empire State Building with simple technology compared to what we have today. The muslims are getting ready to build a 100 million dollar mosque right across the street to celebrate their 9/11 accomplishment which will be standing in less than two years. Now someone has found a pile of wood that used to be a boat that was scraped there. Isn't there a front end loader on the site? I can drive it if no one else can. I can get that pile of wood out of there in 5 minutes. What the hell has happened to us?

Empire State Building

“Excavation of the site began on January 22, 1930, and construction on the building itself started symbolically on March 17—St.Patrick’s Day—per Al Smith’s influence as Empire State, Inc. president. The project involved 3,400 workers, mostly immigrants from Europe, along with hundreds of Mohawk iron workers, many from the Kahnawake reserve near Montreal. According to official accounts, five workers died during the construction. Governor Smith’s grandchildren cut the ribbon on May 1, 1931.”

Did you miss that if this becomes an historical dig, there can be no mosque?

The Empire State Building was built in quicker time and the technology was not advance as compared the World Trade Center. The parts for the World Trade Center had to fix exactly together and come at the right time. Also, the World Trade Center was built by the Port Authority, unlike the Empire State Building.
