Round 1: Where is a floor assembly?

Bonus Round!

Holy Grail: The Floor Assembly

The key to winning this game is finding significant numbers of rubble that resembles this still image taken from the documentary "Construction of the Twin Towers". These were prefabricated steel pans held together with trusses and lifted into place. Then into the pan was poured 4" of steel reinforced concrete. Above that was carpet, office furniture, computers, file cabinets . . . and humans.

By my estimation, there should be about 40 of these sections on each floor. 40 x 110 x 2 = 8,800 of these things somewhere. Where?

Let's see how they looked put together in the second picture.

All put together, each floor was about an acre. An acre-sized square donut, with a rectangular hole. Somewhere, there must be 220 of these giant square engineered slabs.

Where are they?
