It was a prediction that came true.
“Someday some utility company is going to be down there digging and uncover remains and you can all think back to this day.” Those were the words of Port Authority Cop John Ryan at a meeting at the city Department of Design and Construction at the World Financial Center.
Consolidated Edison electric company discovered more than one hundred bones last week along West Street, a place the Port Authority said had been thoroughly searched after 9/11.
The Port Authority police are on record having said that the West Street area needed additional searching and said it as far back as 2002.
Families of victims have said this all along so now maybe they’ll get their wish. Anything else is unthinkable.

Absolutely. Anything less than a complete investigation into why these remains have been left behind, followed up by a thorough search, is unthinkable. Haven’t these families been through enough?
For this reason alone, construction of the Freedom Tower should carry the significance of building on sacred ground with arguments surrounding superficial issues brought to a minimum.
