Human remains - some reportedly as large as arm or leg bones - have been found at the site of the 11 September 2001 attacks in New York.
The remains were found in rubble excavated from a manhole near the site of the World Trade Center.
Relatives say the find proves the need for a thorough new search of the area around Ground Zero.
"We can no longer rely on accidental discoveries," said WTC Families for Proper Burial in a statement.
let me try & reconstruct a post i made to a thread made by Black_Fox
POINT: the remains (bones) were found in a manhole!....all the manholes i see
have one of those +100lb manhole covers....and it takes a special lifting tool
to gain access to the manhole well.
Just how did the body parts of 911 victims get down into that manhole???
also, show me some DNA evidence that links these bones to 911 victims
the more likely premise is that this ?story? is just sensationalism by a reporter!
for some of the relatives, the find is an indication that the site has never been fully searched for the remains of the 2,749 people who died there.
Some of the remains were as big as arm or leg bones, Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority, was quoted by AP as saying

They've been finding body parts around that site off and on since the incident. I know on the roof of one big building nearby that never collapsed but was condemned and due for demolition they've found lots of little bones and stuff.
Sad.
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Construction at the World Trade Center site will continue despite discovery nearby of apparent remains of 9/11 victims, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday.

After the remains were found Thursday and Sunday, angry family members of victims demanded that officials halt construction on the Freedom Tower and begin intensive searches.

On Friday, members of World Trade Center Families for Proper Burial protested what they said was the government's mishandling of remains.

They have called for a halt to all construction in the area and a renewed, more exhaustive search for remains.

Another family member of a 9/11 victim told AP that the grim discovery sends a message. "Their actions say remains are not a priority, they're secondary to the rebuilding," said Charles Wolf, who told AP he lost his wife and has never received any of her identified remains. "This is bringing up all the gnawing, gut-wrenching stuff inside us again," he said to AP.

Sally Regenhard lost her firefighter son during the attacks. "My son gave his life for this city -- for the state of New York and for the city of New York," she said. "He went into the Port Authority property which was immune and exempt from all the building and fire codes. He went into a death trap and now these agencies, these governmental entities say that my son cannot be found. To this day, I have not found one single iota of my son."

NEW YORK (AP) -- Workers who spent months searching for human remains in the World Trade Center rubble were often at odds with the agency overseeing the cleanup and frequently asked to halt the operation as they recovered body parts.
As the work was wrapping up in 2002, several officials handling the recovery warned that things were moving too fast. They believed more pieces of the lost 2,749 victims could be found, but they were overruled, two of those officials told The Associated Press this week.
The officials gave the account after a utility crew accidentally discovered body parts last week in an abandoned manhole along the western edge of the site, and forensic experts have since dug down and found more than 100 bones and fragments from skulls, ribs, arms, legs, feet and hands.

Over the years, these bones could have been washed down storm gutters by heavy rainfall.

I hate to mention this. They could have also been taken down into the sewers by rats.

I think the both of you are unfortunately correct on that question. It's been five years since the attacks, so why have the bone fragments started showing up now? Why wasn't all of the bone fragments recovered during the search??

So how do the charges (btw invisible in the suspected WTC demo ) blowing on the OUTER shell of the building eject debris from INSIDE the building?
