After five years, there’s finally some good news coming from the World Trade Center. The human bones discovered recently at the WTC “are so well preserved they will yield usable DNA, the experts are saying.
The remains were found last week by utility crews working in a paved over manhole. This has changed the mood of the stories about 9/11 and the aftermath. While some families of victims have complained about a lack of closure, others are now apprehensive about the new finds, saying this new situation has opened new wounds. In an AP story by Sara Kugler quotes Lynn Castrianno as saying while some families naturally want to know if they find relatives of the missing victims, she said it also opens all of the old wounds of 9/11. So far, workers have found almost 200 human remains, whole bones and shards. Scientists say the remains were protected from the weather, a situation which preserved them.
Finally, its time to come together again because as a nation, we’ve got some people to remember again – thousands of them.

These souls have been unearthed for a reason, and it is up to us living souls to discover why now? Perhaps, the moment has arrived when those of us left behind need to recapture the intensity of those moments on 9/11 when we all witnessed the horror of hatred. Perhaps, we need to re-evaluate our own lives and consider the whole concept of judgemental wrath. Perhaps, it is time that we take a lesson from these newly discovered souls and rediscover our own.
