    Deputy Mayor Edward Skyler said Friday in a memo that 844 cubic yards of debris have been recovered since earlier sifting was completed in 2007. Anthropologists and others are expected to return to sifting in April and complete the work after about three months.

    The new debris was uncovered as excavations and other work made new parts of the site and the area around it accessible.

    The sifting will be done at the now-closed Fresh Kills landfill. So far, 1,772 potential human remains have been pulled from nearly 15,000 cubic yards of debris.

    One of the greatest mysteries is why the debris was originally removed to begin with without a proper forensic examination as the scene of a crime! Nothing should have been touched under law. Unless of course there might of things to hide right away regarding the fall of the buildings, not to mention the fall of Building 7 which wasn’t even hit by a plane at all!

    Building 7 WAS hit you idiot!
    Thousands of pounds of boiling hot steel smashed away half of its middle side. After hours on fire, it collapsed.

    I will admit though it is fun to pretend that there are evil controlling people who control our lives. It helps me escape my miserable life living in my mom’s basement. It probably has the same effect for you.

    “Nothing should have been touched”

    Except that there were lives to be saved.

    If it were all there and not removed we would all be sick from the stench. PS forensic examination is needed only to help identify the perpetrator, here we all knew.
