9/11 remains possibly used to pave roads

By Edith Honan Sat Mar 24, 1:14 AM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - 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."

5. This is just despicable...deserves to be on the front page...

And I'm glad to send it there.

Kicked and nominated!

[Canuckistanian]

6. So much for investigating a crime scene

Sounds like someone wanted that rubble removed pronto.

[Vincardog]

8. IF anyone else had removed evidence from a crime scene that would be a crime

[wildbilln864]

13. Yes it was a crime!

And the perps are the ones who get to cover it up IMHO!

7. Shades of The Appian Way and Vlad the Impaler

IIRC, slaves involved with Spartacus were crucified along the Appian Way whereas Vlad liked making concentric circles (among other geometric shapes) with his impaled victims near the towns of his victims.

Vlad often had the stakes arranged in various geometric patterns. The most common pattern was a ring of concentric circles in the outskirts of a city that constituted his target. The height of the spear indicated the rank of the victim. The corpses were often left decaying for months.

11. Giuliani needed to clear all the debris out so he could recover the gold in the vaults

The union contends that Giuliani was more concerned about the removal of gold, silver and other assets of the Bank of Nova Scotia that was buried beneath the rubble than he was of human remains.

``He valued the money and gold and wanted the site cleared before he left office at the end of 2001 more than he valued the lives and memories of those lost,'' the letter said.

14. Ehh - don't worry, they'll rush to Fred Thompson over Ghouliani

should Thompson join the race.

I'm tellin' y'all now, I'm scared of Fred Thompson.

[Mabus]

15. As a midwesterner I find your generalizations about our attitudes really stupid

and narrow-minded but thanks for perpetuating that insulting meme in your subject line while providing a weak "not you, of course" in your message. fwiw, here's a list of current DEMOCRATIC Governors serving the midwest states:


Bill Ritter Colorado
Rod R. Blagojevich Illinois
Chet Culver Iowa
Kathleen G. Sebelius Kansas
Ted Strickland Ohio
C. Bradford "Brad" Henry Oklahoma
David D. "Dave" Freudenthal Wyoming

Moreover, the Kansas GOP is on life support after losing a seat in Cogress, losing the KS AG race, losing KS legislature seats and losing KS Board of Education seats.

BTW, none of my friends are impressed with Guiliani. Most see him as either a city-slicker or an out-of-touch politican.

[MadHound]

16. Excuse me, I'm from Missouri, and I have no liking for Gulianni

But hey, thanks for reverting to stereotypes and bullshit attacks. Really appreciate it there pal, especially since out here in the Midwest we worked out asses off to help deliver a Democratic majority to Congress. And this is how we're thanked, gee, how fucking kind of you:grr:

Why the fuck should we support Democrats who still continue to treat us like second class citizens, and smear us with lies? There are other liberal parties out there.

Fuck off with your blatant bullshit. Out here in the Missour, we know an ass when we see one.

[frogcycle]

18. hey folks, let's keep in mind

That new yawkers are a special breed. They think everything past the Hudson River is "the hinterland".
They don't mean any harm when they lump all us savages together. It is just the way they are. :)

I am a half-breed Tennesseean and Brooklynite, with relatives still in NY, so I know whereof I speak.

edit to add smilie. no flames please - can't we all just get along?

[MadHound]

20. Sure, I can get along just fine with anybody, as long as they don't write insulting diatribes

That use broad brush strokes and ad hominem attacks. Especially after we here in Missouri and the Midwest helped put the Democrats in majority power.

But this fool comes along and decides to lash out in such a manner, and then runs away. Yeah, I'm going to be a bit pissed:shrug:

[frogcycle]

22. oh, i agree with you

just sayin don't raise your blood pressure - they can't help themselves

[Mabus]

23. What gets me is that THEY elected him and relected him

but then they have the audicity to tell us not to be fooled by him. Even dumber, they elected another Republican as their mayor and then relected him too. :rofl:

I think you have the same problem with the "midwesterners are idiots" meme that keeps getting perpetuated around here that I do. I join you in being pissed.

[MetaTrope]

17. I sure hope they were able to recover all those hijackers' intact passports first

[gravity]

19. Who cares?

It's just some bone fragments in the ruble. If there were the remains of whole bodies, it would be different, but freaking out because small bone fragments is pointless.

[Quixote1818]

24. I am with you

nt

[supernova]

25. You would care

if there were absolutely nothing left of your relative in the WTC to bury. Nothing to take home or have a funeral over.

The fact that they did this is despicable in the extreme. God how I hate the republican mentality.

[Bluedogvoter]

21. It says the debris was processed

I'm familiar with this landfill because it was notable as the largest landfill in the world and was pollution hazard.

If I remember correctly it stayed open because of tradgedy and used to process the debris.

If the debris was processed than its just that. Re-usable.
