(CBS) NEW YORK A former contractor for the city who worked at the Fresh Kills landfill has accused the city of filling potholes with human remains from the World Trade Center, reports CBS station WCBS-TV in New York.

Norman Siegel is representing some of the families of Sept. 11 victims suing to re-open the search for human remains. He's produced a deposition from a contractor who sifted through the remains at the Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island.

"They were putting the remains of people who died on Sept. 11 in the potholes on the roadway of Fresh Kills," Siegel said. "This was another example not only of inadequacy but the deliberate indifference of the people running the city."

The city stopped sifting through almost a half million tons of debris after about a year of work. But some family members maintain they stopped work prematurely.

"It's never acceptable because of expediency, time, money or business interests to throw away the remnants of your loved ones," said Sally Regenhard, a plaintiff in the lawsuit.

A city attorney denies that the sifting was incomplete or that remains were mishandled.

"To our knowledge, there is no truth to these claims. The city did everything possible to recover Sept. 11 remains in a caring and thorough manner."


Im fucking speechless, shocked, stunned, vomiting.

Please dont bury this mods. This is a true as day, a CBS reported, travesty that needs GD-type attention.
