9/11 remains possibly used to pave roads

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."

1. The rescue workers did everything they could -- I won't stand for insinuation of otherwise
But the fact that the construction company was allowed to save a few bucks by taking remains of the WTC for its business is perhaps one of the most disguisting things I have ever heard.

2. Americas mayer once the Bank was found ordered the remains hauled to "Fresh Kills" to be dumped, a
lot of them were apparently hauled to China with the scrap steel..

saving the remains slowed down the process of clean up, i dont think i want him for even dog catcher more less pResident... what a cross dressing psycho
