A statue in honor of the youngest victim of the Tuscon shooting will be made from remnants of the Twin Towers.

A five foot, 272-pound piece of steel from the World Trade Center was picked up from John F. Kennedy Airport yesterday. It will be used to create an angel statue in honor of nine-year-old Christina Green.

Christina was born on September 11th 2001.

The statue will also incorporate artifacts from the terror attack on the Pentagon and the crash of United Airlines Flight 93.

It will be dedicated in Arizona on April 1st.
