New York City has identified 25 new 9/11 victims since 2006.
Work done up to December 2007 recovered 1,772 potential human remains, according to city records. But 41 percent of the families who lost loved ones in the World Trade Center attacks have yet to recover anything.

Sally Regenhard, an activist and co-founder of the Skyscraper Safety Campaign, lost her 28-year-old son, Christian, a firefighter. To this day, she has not recovered any of his remains.

"I have no evidence that my son died. I never got the knock at the door," Regenhard said. "I have never been told where my son died, what building he was sent to, what he was doing."

She likens the feeling to those of the families of Argentina's thousands of desaparecidos, taken by the Argentine government during the country's Dirty War in the 1970s and whose whereabouts and fates often were never revealed.

1. That's awful
They won't/can't tell her what happened to her son?

Just awful. I am feeling so sorry for the Families. Whatever they want, as far as answers go, they deserve.

8. Everyone?
The lady says: ""I have no evidence that my son died. I never got the knock at the door," Regenhard said. "I have never been told where my son died, what building he was sent to, what he was doing."

She likens the feeling to those of the families of Argentina's thousands of desaparecidos, taken by the Argentine government during the country's Dirty War in the 1970s and whose whereabouts and fates often were never revealed."


So, everyone knows what happened to her son, except for me and the mother?
Gawd, the hate is going too far. You have really gone overboard, dude.

5. What do you mean "won't tell her"?
Edited on Mon Apr-05-10 10:24 AM by LARED
Or it that just another lame attempt at implying sinister motives on the backs of grieving people. Sickening.
