Funeral Home owner - there was a man on tv yesterday - must

[peacetalksforall]

have been link or fstv, I think. I wasn't listening intently, but I thought he was describing taking care of bodies from flight 93. I am going to show my ignorance, were bodies removed from the site? I thought there were none. Can someone help me out since I can't seem to stop thinking about it. He wasn't giving any kind of report, it was just a reference, but he mentioned 4x people. Wouldn't someone from the government handle that part rather than a local ownere? Were their bodies?

except of the hijackers

As far as I can remember the coroner said there were no bodies

3. No bodies were recovered, only human remains

No bodies were recovered here, at least not as we normally think of bodies. In the cataclysmic violence of the crash, the people on Flight 93 literally disintegrated. Searchers found fragments of bones, small pieces of flesh, a hand. But no bodies.

In the grisly accounting of a jetliner crash, it comes down to pounds: The people on Flight 93 weighed a total of about 7,500 pounds. Miller supervised an intensive effort to gather their remains, some flung hundreds of yards. In the end, just 600 pounds of remains were collected; of these, 250 pounds could be identified by DNA testing and returned to the families of the passengers and crew.

Forty families, wanting to bury their loved ones. Two hundred fifty pounds of identifiable remains.
