Human remains are STILL being found at Ground Zero: Nine years on, 72 remains found under debris

From The Daily Mail

A renewed search of debris in and around the World Trade Centre site has recovered 72 human remains, New York City officials have said.
The chilling discovery comes nearly nine years after the horrifying attacks on September 11, 2001.
The sifting of more than 800 cubic yards of debris recovered from Ground Zero and underneath roads around the lower Manhattan site began in April and ended on Friday.
The greatest number of remains – 37 – were found from material underneath West Street, a highway on the west side of Ground Zero.

The new debris was uncovered as construction work made new parts of the site accessible.
The city began a renewed search for human remains in 2006, with more than 1,800 remains recovered so far.
Some have been matched to previously unidentified September 11 victims.
The grisly discovery comes as plans for a performing arts centre at Ground Zero begin to take shape.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s board approved a deal today that would have the City pay it back for the $40million construction at the World Trade Centre site.
Authority spokesman Steve Coleman says some work on the foundation and shared infrastructure is in progress, but other parts of the project have not yet been contracted out.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s spokesman Andrew Brent says the city expects to pay for the work with funds from the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. rebuilding agency.
The arts centre was part of the original master plan for Ground Zero, but there has never been a budget or a timetable for its construction.
In May a New York City community board voted in favour of a plan to build a mosque and cultural centre near the site.
The mosque is part of a proposed 13-storey Muslim community centre, which will include a swimming pool, gym, theatre and sports facilities.
The building, which was damaged by the fuselage of one of the hijacked planes, is at 45 Park Place – just two blocks from Ground Zero.
Conservative activists and families of the victims of the 9/11 attacks had objected to the plans.
A new hotel just to the south of the Twin Towers site opened earlier this month – and ran straight into controversy by offering guests ‘stirring’ views of the Ground Zero construction site.
The World Centre Hotel was officially opened by Mayor Michael and boasts floor-to-ceiling windows in some of its 169 rooms.
It also features a 20th floor restaurant terrace which is almost level with the 40-storey Deutsche Bank tower which was irreparably contaminated in the attack and is in the process of being dismantled.
Managers at the hotel have defended the decision to open the project – which was in development before the terrorist strike on 9 /11 – as part of New York’s regeneration.
Cheryl Palmer, corporate vice president of revenue and product development of the World Centrr Hotel told one U.S. newspaper: ‘The construction is a sign of the rebuilding and revitalisation – it shows the progress that’s been made. There are no surprises in terms of out location.’

  1. While the remains of the innocents are still being found, Islam will secure it’s dominant position atop the rubble and uncovered corpses through the Cordoba project. Sick.
