A New Search for 9/11 Victims’ Remains
About 60 dump trucks full of debris from the fallen World Trade Center will be sifted for victims’ remains beginning Monday. The debris was collected for the past two and a half years from construction sites in the neighborhood.
The New York Daily News reports that family members of 9/11 victims received emails from New York City officials on Friday, alerting them to the 10-week, multi-agency operation that will take place at the city forensic unit on Staten Island. A memo attached to the email was from Deputy Mayor for Operations Caswell Holloway addressed to Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
“We will continue DNA testing until all recovered remains that can be matched with a victim are identified,” Holloway wrote in his memo.
