The remains of a woman who worked on the 97th Floor of a World Trade Center building and a passenger of one of the planes that slammed into the Twin Towers, have been identified.
The remains of Carol LaPlante have been positively identified through DNA evidence. LaPlante worked for Marsh and McLennan in 2001 when the World Trade Center was attacked. She was 59 years old and lived in Manhattan.
Workers sifting through debris from Ground Zero last week found 27 pieces of human remains at a “sifting site” in Brooklyn according to city officials. The victims identified include the LaPlante woman and a baggage handler who died aboard American Airlines Flight 11. Alberto Dominguez was a baggage handler for Qantas Airways in Sidney who was visiting the United States.
The remains weren’t found recently but they were identified last week through DNA analysis.

Identifying the remains makes this process even more poignant, illustrating the need for a sincere effort on the part of all designers to include the memorial as a focal point of these new structures.
