You are looking at what some people believe is a miracle.
Two days after the disaster, a construction worker found several perfectly formed crosses planted upright in a
pit in the rubble of the heavily damaged 6 World Trade Center.
The large, cross-shaped metal beams just happened to fall that way when one of the towers collapsed. An FBI chaplain who has spent days at ground zero says he has not seen anything like it on the vast site. As word of the find has spread at ground zero, exhausted and emotionally overwhelmed rescue workers have
been flocking to the site to pray and meditate.
"People have a very emotional reaction when they see it," says the Rev. Carl Bassett, an FBI chaplain. "They are amazed to see something like that in all the disarray. There's no symmetry to anything down there, except those crosses."

Scraping the barrel for "miracles" there.

The WTC was made by welding and riveting steel beams at right angles to each other.
Not all of these welds failed? A MIRACLE !
In fact, look at the pictures. The 'cross' looks like it was manufactured in that form. The crosspiece has failed at the rivet join to the next piece. The top has also failed at a joint. So the 'miracle' is that one piece out of the thousands ended up near vertical.
If the WTC had been constructed in a triangular form or honeycomb then it might have some significance.
But it was not. So the only significance is the same as the person who find god in the beauty of the butterfly, but ignores the digger wasp and the guinea worm.

not something in government occurs in one day. MLK trip wasn't made right into a trip until many, some years after his loss of life. 5 years is basically too short a time to have this ensue. you additionally can ask why there is not a countrywide trip for D-Day, Pearl Harbor, and so on., and so on. the human beings who died in those tragic activities additionally need to be remembered. yet i think those fall decrease than the national trip of "Memorial Day." So possibly 9/11 could desire to be grouped decrease than "Memorial Day" besides.

Well, here's the thing: The entire building was framed with upright members crossed at regular intervals by horizontal members. It is not at all unlikely that one would find the remnants of such structural elements in the remains of the building.
It is much less miraculous than many people have been persuaded to believe.

Did you ever SEE the Twin Towers? They were angular and full of right angles. I am shocked that only 6 random cross shapes were found in the rubble after 9/11. There could have potentially been thousands. You folks will turn the most random of events in to a miracle or sign.

I'm surprised you didn't post a link to that photoshopped pic of the devil's face in the clouds as the towers were falling.
If I hear anymore about 9/11 I think I'm going to puke.

1. right angles are relatively important in construction.
2. If a miracle was to be found on 9/11, I'd have preferred one that saved the 3000 lives.

Hm, well, the architecture of the buildings could have created the beams so that at certain spots they form a cross, and that's just how it fell. purely coincidentally.
I'm really not an architect genius, I wouldn't really know.
But that seems highly coincidental.
Especially considering "God" has never proven existence.

Well, as I think miracles are either nothing more than either one, coincidence, or two, self-fulfilling prophecy it is either one of those but I lean towards it being a little of both. The girders just happened to break that way and people will read into them what they want to see. Myself, I see part of the framework of a building.

hardly supprising the WTC tower's where built in cross sections like boxes then reinfinforced with smaller steel bars so it looked more like a cage, a bit could easily break off looking like that the whole massive great building looked like that. and anyway are you saying, hey its ok because 3000 people died but god left us a symbol of peace, oh but jesus died and suffered on it so you will say anyway is that really 'peaceful'

Unusual. Interesting, but I wouldn't consider it an act from God as in a miracle.
The site also shows "faces" in the smoke...that makes me think the thing is less credible entirely.
