NEW YORK - Losing ground in the battle between hope and harsh reality, rescue workers Saturday spent a frustrating fifth day removing bodies and body parts from the pile of debris where the World Trade Center once stood.
Searchers were going by smell Saturday, digging in the places where the stench was the worst. Their cadaver-sniffing dogs had become useless, overwhelmed by the pervasive odor.
A steady stream of body bags was removed from the smoking pile, then delivered to a morgue at Three World Financial Center.

My dear brother and sister FReepers,
At this, of all times in my lifetime, I would like nothing more than to be able to read these threads and reply to them. I have much I would like to say.
BUT, I cannot!
Why?
Because I am trying hard to raise the finances needed to keep FreeRepublic up and running so that we can continue to share valuable information and respond to it.
I beg you, if you have not yet donated to FreeRepublic this quarter, do so now!
"And if you have donated, God Bless You, please ping your friends, and FReep on..."
I realize you are giving to lots of Relief efforts and I encourage you to do so. But we need to help FR too. Where would we be right now without it?
If you have no money, please come and bump the Fundraiser Thread.
I would really like to reach our goal quickly so that I and the rest of the dedicated FReepers who are working the Fundraiser Threads can participate in what is undeniably the most important time in FreeRepublic's history.
