My car was parked a couple of blocks from the WTC, on the roof of the MTA's Battery Garage. As an employee of the stock exchange, I had permission to enter the "zone" immediately after the collapse. It wasn't until five days later that things had been cleared well enough for me to attempt to retrieve my car. Even then, I was only able to do that because the cops guarding the place were still in shellshock, and did nothing to stop me.
It rained heavily in the days immediately following 9/11, and when I found the car it was buried in a foot of goop...WTC dust combined with rain. I had an old snow brush in the trunk of my car, and I used this to clear that terrible stuff as best I could. When it was off, I was surprised that the clear coat had been completely stripped, and there were places where the paint was lifting.
As it happened, I had a bottle of coolant test strips in the car, so I dipped one in the muck. The PH was 13...very caustic. This should be no surprise, since the principal components were concrete and plaster dust, which are almost as caustic as lye when mixed with water. Some of those cars remained up there for months, some were waiting for owners who never returned. I'm still haunted by the memory of it. By the time they were hauled away, I bet there wasn't a bit of paint left.
As for the chemical composition of the dust, you really need to get your facts straight. I'm not going to point you to the reams of reliable information that continue to pour out of ground zero, because you are basically not going to believe anything you read. But I think the people reading this need to understand that your question reflects either stupidity or malevolence. Find yourself an amusement which doesn't involve trampling on graves. You're no hero and you're no genius, your best bet is to try not to be annoying.

There was a lot of lime dust from the concrete. How much barium and zinc is likely to be in that I would not be sure of. It would likely be fairly high. It certainly would be corrosive, acting like any other active alkali salts. Zinc and Barium would be expected in the paints used on autos. Zinc both as a pigment and as galvanic anti corrosion, Barium as pigment.

BECAUSE YOU JUST MADE THAT UP, MOST LIKELY.
Why were there 15 turkeys flying in the shape of a swastika after Clinton was elected office? This has been verified by a number of independent labs.

Because barium and zinc is used in Welding, which was used quite a bit in the building of the towers.

Maybe the cars were corroded from the dust and debris of two very large skyscrapers being collapsed by evil Islamofacists terrorists..........

Good question. I dont know the EXACT answer, but its a question that deserves an answer.
Same w/ the molten metal found at the bottom of all three WTC buildings......Why was that metal molten? Jet fuel can't melt steel.

Because someone on high has decided that we can't handle the truth. Also, by not admitting it, they will condemn for many years in court cases the rights of anyone to prove otherwise.
And, government has deep pockets thanks to our taxes. They will beat anyone down by force of wealth.
The corrosion is likely do to the chemicals and minerals that have combined in the atmosphere to rain down on anything below, including you and me.

Heat does strange things. It can oxidize chemicals and change their molecular identity. Are you another one of those conspiracy nuts?
