Ce s-a întâmplat cu aurul de sub World Trade Center. 11 tone de lingouri erau în seiful din subsol când s-au prăbușit turnurile gemene
After the 9/11 attacks, significant amounts of precious metals were found buried under the World Trade Center. Approximately 11.8 tons of gold and nearly 936 tons of silver were stored in vaults managed by Scotia Mocatta. The value of these metals increased shortly after the attacks, with gold rising from $272.30 to $292.90 per ounce. Recovery operations began soon after the collapse, with workers clearing access tunnels under the rubble. Security was tight during the retrieval process, and reports indicated that gold was successfully recovered and transported to secure locations. The story of these precious metals remains a lesser-known aspect of the 9/11 narrative, highlighting the complexities of the recovery efforts amidst the tragedy.
