Now what has made me come to this conclusion on NYC feeling "left out" is because within a few days of the bombing in Boston, they hold a news conference to announce that the "suspects" were headed to Manhattan to carry out more attacks. When that did not seem to garner more attention than they had planned on, now they come out with this. Is it just a coincidence that earlier this month they started "going through" the rubble from 9/11 as part of their ongoing investigation. All of a sudden, here is a perfectly placed landing gear found 12 years later, that just happens to have "pieces of rope" caught up in it from being lowered into place. All in my opinion, in a cheap way to garner attention and spotlight the the city of New York. Am I the only way that sees this? What are you opinions on this?

.. it had to come in at almost precisely the right angle,"

The twisted metal part, jammed in a sliver of open space between the buildings, has cables and levers on it and is about 3 feet wide and 1.5 feet deep.
This was the size of the piece found. I do not believe there would be a need to have it placed there by helicopter.

Everyone is asking "why now". Because "they" will always want to keep 9/11 fresh in peoples' minds for years to come. It keeps people afraid and scared of the next lingering terrorist attack that's "just around the corner".
STATEN ISLAND -- A memorial project started for 9/11 victims will honor City Councilman Vincent Ignizio and Snug Harbor Cultural Center next week for their contributions after Hurricane Sandy.
The New Yorkers for Parks Daffodil Project, which plants the flower around the city to memorialize the men and women who lost their lives in the terror attacks, will give the awards on Tuesday at their annual Daffodil Breakfast in Manhattan.
NEW YORK — The 9/11 memorial reopened to the public Tuesday a week after Superstorm Sandy flooded the World Trade Center site as it roared into New York, but another temporary closure was planned for Wednesday in anticipation of an approaching Nor'easter.

If that landing gear happened there naturally from the attacks, there should be some sort of scrape marks or gashes on either building where it landed, and the gashes will point towards where the WTC used to exist.
If it was dropped from above, either building will have gashes pointing straight up. If it was lowered by rope or just walked into that space, there would likely be no gashes.
So, whether we get the actual forensics from this investigation or not, after the investigation is over, any independent researcher can go to that location and see for themselves whether any gashes exist, and which way those gashes point to. And that will determine the likelihood of whether the landing gear was planted or happened there from the attacks.
Mr Kelly told reporters after inspecting it that a length of rope was looped around the piece of steel and that no marks were visible on the walls overhead.
New Rochelle Marine Disputes Defenders of 'Ground Zero' Mosque in New York City
By Robert Cox on Wed, 09/22/2010 - 15:17
(NEW ROCHELLE, NY) -- The ongoing debate over the controversial Islamic community center and mosque planned for the site of what was to have been a Burlington Coat Factory retail outlet in lower Manhattan, has left Peter Parente frustrated. Parente, 42, a U.S. Marine honorably discharged in 1993, was part of the small team of construction workers assigned to clear plane wreckage from the building located at 45–47 Park Place in the days after 9/11.
Sitting at the kitchen table in his modest three-bedroom home in the Halcyon Park section of New Rochelle, Parente is uncomfortable talking about the proposed community center and mosque. He said that his service in the United States Marines was dedicated to defending the Constitution and the American way of life, and while he recognizes the First Amendment right of the organizers to build a mosque on the site, he struggles with coming to peace with the plan. But his eyes light up and there is no hesitation when asked about proponents of the mosque who dismiss critics by claiming that the building is not really that close to Ground Zero.
"I was there", said Parente. "I smelled death. I tasted death. It was in the air that we breathed as we worked. Don't tell me that the building is not near Ground Zero. It was all around us."
WTC_DebrisField_150.pngOn September 11, 2001, United Airlines Flight 175 struck the South Tower of the World Trade Center. A part of the plane's landing gear and fuselage came out the north side of the tower, crashed through the roof of the building at 45–47 Park Place and down through two floors before becoming embedded in the ceiling of the third floor of what was a five-story building.
It was that piece of wreckage that first attracted Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, 61, the man behind building the proposed 13-story Islamic community center and mosque, to the site. The presence of Park51 "where a piece of the wreckage fell sends the opposite statement to what happened on 9/11", Imam Feisal told the New York Times last December before the controversy began.
For Parente, that wreckage is personal. Several days after the World Trade Center attack Parente was part of a crew from Forthright Development Company of Mamaroneck, NY, the company hired by Burlington Coat Factory to renovate the building as part of a planned retail store in lower Manhattan. When the building was struck on 9/11, Burlington hired Forthright to go back into the building where they had just completed work and remove the wreckage of Flight 175 from the badly damaged building.
Parente tells of arriving on the scene still worried about the fate of Michael Curtin, his close friend and former Gunnery Sergeant who had been in the area of the attack and reported missing. Sergeant Major Michael Sean Curtin's remains were recovered from Ground Zero in March 2002.
The crew of 15 men made their way into the building with great care, cautiously edging their way up the idle escalators to reach the third floor of the severely damaged structure. There was water everywhere recalled Parente. The sprinkler system had been activated when the building was struck and most of the store merchandise had been ruined.
"It was a mess. The landing gear must have weighed about half a ton and when it hit that building it was like one of those "bunker busters", slicing through the roof and straight down into the heart of the structure. It was sticking out of the ceiling on the third floor. All of us on the work detail got real quiet thinking about the people on that plane."
After securing the large chunk of landing gear with ropes, Parente and the rest of the crew pulled and yanked on the strut, rocking it back and forth, until the ceiling gave way. The landing gear came crashing down into the men's clothing section of the never-opened store.
Parente and the other men, pulled the strut away from the merchandise shelves, laid out boards across the escalator steps and set up winches to haul the plane part towards the escalators and then carefully lower it to the level below. To keep it steady while they lowered the strut down the escalators, Parente sat astride the strut to keep it balanced. At each floor they had to drag the strut across the floor, around to the other side and then down the escalator, repeating this process until they reached the ground floor. They then dragged the landing gear out onto Church Street where they had a truck waiting. The crew lifted the 1,000 pound hunk of metal into the back of a Ford Econoline van.
