Final Sift of World Trade Center Rubble Yields Remains

Washington – Remains of victims have been discovered in the rubble of the World Trade Center nearly nine years after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, a news report said.Seventy-two bone fragments were found in about two dump trucks of debris that had yet to be sifted by forensics experts, US television’s ABC News reported Tuesday, citing the New York Medical Examiner’s Office.The office said DNA testing was likely to identify some of the remains, given the size and condition of the bone fragments. About 1,000 people of the nearly 3,000 victims of the suicide plane hijackings that brought down the two towers of the World Trade Center have yet to be identified.The experts sifted through 645 cubic metres of debris over three months to find the remains. The debris was the last from the World Trade Center that had yet to combed.
