One of my colleagues lost their nephew during 911.
He was on the 87 floor when the planes hit the tower he was in.
They have never recovered any of his remains.

Last I heard none of BCM’s remains were recovered either.

While I truly feel for the loved ones left behind ... they need to stop this whining. It is sheer impossible to collect every bone, piece of jewelry etc.. These things WILL POP UP! That will continue to happen in years to come. The stuff was buried. It’s being exposed so quietly find out who they are and if possible find out who the other items belong to and return them with respect. You really can’t do more than this.

"One of my colleagues lost their nephew during 911."
One of my colleagues lost a twin daughter in the WTC. The other twin was working in the second tower and escaped. I retired and never did hear if they ever found any of her remains.

“At Fresh Kills, soil erosion is causing bones and other distressing evidence to be pushed to the surface. Wind and rain whip the dump, exposing shoes, watches, credit cards and jewelery.”
It’s going to happen. It’s not intentional that they did not find this sooner when it was buried. I wish folks would understand this instead of lashing out at others still angry over their loss.

If he were a member of any mainstream denomination instead of a religion that rejects ALL Christian denominations he would have been a much better choice.

This kind of thing is left over from any battle in any war.
Why should we be spared the pain?

I believe that the debris should have been taken to sea, and whatever remains and bodies may have been contained therein committed to the deep. Better being taken to a landfill.

They are some of the first to fall in the war against Islamic fascism. Fresh Kills should be designated a sacred burial place and left at that. You wouldn’t dig up Arlington!

Wind and rain whip the dump, exposing shoes, watches, credit cards and jewelry. A few months after 9/11 there was a TV show that covered a tour for reporters of the Fresh Kills site where workers were carefully going over the material removed from Ground Zero. The guy leading the tour sternly lectured the reporters about what they might expect to see on the tour.
When he actually said "We're doing God's work here!", I knew there had to be something funny going on and that it was quite possible that many of the workers watching the conveyor belts were looking out for number 1.

Wasn’t it fairly recently that they found body parts on the roof of the Deutche Bank building?

I agree that would have been much better than a landfill. First thing they should have done is change the darn name of the place...Fresh Kills?

I think a good faith effort was made to retrieve the remains of the WTC victims. By now, anything left is just rubble. If all you've got left to remember your loved one by is a bone fragment, then you must not have had shared much of your lives. Whatever made them them isn't in a landfill somewhere or in an urn or a grave. It's somewhere vastly more important.
Let the body go. The spirit survives.

They’re still finding bodies at Gettysburg, so I suppose this should come as no big surprise?

This is very sad, but these people have to realize there was a time in this country, not too long ago, after a person was buried, animals or nature would unearth the body and creatures of the forest- coyotes, wolves, beavers, raccoons and aardvarks would devour the remains. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to be eaten by some crummy beaver.

This makes me ache.
For the families, and for the dignity of the victims that we call “heroes”..
I wouldn’t call it “whining” by the victim’s families.. these too, are victims of these murderers. I don’t know how I’d feel in their shoes.
I too, just wish they’d change the name of that place except it’s been called that since the 1600’s.

I understand this somewhat. My son was hit by a car and killed last year. It wasn't until a week or so later when we retrieved his personal effects that we found his glasses were not among them. I imagine if someone had the glasses, as damaged as they were likely to be, they decided we would not want them.
There is a desperate desire to gather every last thing that you can, because you know no more things will follow. I'd cherish his glasses, like I do his broken cell phone, to the very end of my days.
But people did the best they could. Decisions they made were designed to spare us pain, I'm sure. Some things you just have to decide to accept.

The ones to blame are the foul jihadis who kill innocent people thinking that it will get them to their version of heaven.
