9/11 remains possibly used on roads: court papers

Associated Press | March 23, 2007

Debris that may have contained bits of bone from victims of the World Trade Center attacks was used to fill potholes and pave city roads, according to court papers filed on Friday.

The charge was made in an affidavit filed in Manhattan federal court in an ongoing case filed in 2005 by family members of those killed in the attacks against the city. They say the city did not do enough to search for remains, denying victims a proper burial.

Eric Beck, a construction worker employed at the Fresh Kills landfill in the borough of Staten Island, where the rubble was taken after the Twin Towers fell, said in his affidavit that the process of sifting through the debris was rushed.

Beck said he saw sanitation workers removing small pieces of debris containing possible bone fragments and loading them "onto tractors, and using it to pave roads and fill in potholes, dips and ruts."

Kimberly Miu, a spokeswoman for the city's legal office, declined to comment on the latest filing, saying it would be inappropriate to talk about a pending motion.

The WTC Families for Proper Burial, the group that filed the suit, has also battled the city over how to honor the 2,749 people who died in the attacks on the Twin Towers.

Some relatives of victims have opposed any effort to rebuild on Ground Zero, calling it sacred ground and saying it would disrespect those who perished there.

Construction of the planned memorial and skyscraper has repeatedly been delayed, in part due to concerns expressed by victims' families.

The remains of about 40 percent of the victims were never recovered, and hundreds of bone fragments have been discovered in and around Ground Zero in the last six months, the lawsuit says.

 
Since when did they use debris to fill potholes? I always thought they used asphalt lol

It's really unfortunate that so many people lost their lives, but delaying any attempts to clean up the mess isn't making anything better. It's not sacred ground, it's just a lot where a building used to stand. People die every day in car accidents, but the city doesn't leave the wrecked cars in the middle of the road and close the street permanently to honor the victim's family.

I think that you missed the point of the thread, which is: Crown amps is out of his freaking mind. He is obsessed with 9/11 and all of these conspiracy theories. It will not end.

 
i was asleep in school refering to under a rock.then i saw tv and we all know everything we see on tv is real. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif
especially since 90 percent of tv is liberal democrat. the other 10 is dumass republican.

 
For Christ's sake, at least they're putting them to good use. Instead of just rotting, now they're serving their country and the great city they chose to live and work in //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
