"The odds of it entering that space at exactly that angle that would permit it to squeeze in there ... it had to come in at almost precisely the right angle," a police spokesman told The New York Times. Investigators are considering the possibility that it was deliberately stuck in the spot, CNN reports. "We are also looking into a possibility it was lowered by a rope," said NYPD commissioner Raymond Kelly, who noted that some rope seemed to be wrapped up in the landing gear.
The commissioner noted that a piece of rope intertwined with the part looks like a broken pulley that may have come down from the roof of the Islamic community center.

I understand your point, but can you explain how the landing gear could have gotten in that position where it was found. Even investigators are saying it would have had to come in at a right angle, perfectly.

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.

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.
