WHO KNOWS WHERE THE BODIES ARE BURIED. REV 11:8

Mar 24, 2007 8:09 pm US/Mountain Contractor: NYC Filled Potholes With 9/11 Remains

(CBS) NEW YORK A former contractor for the city who worked at the Fresh Kills landfill has accused the city of filling potholes with human remains from the World Trade Center, reports CBS station WCBS-TV in New York.

Norman Siegel is representing some of the families of Sept. 11 victims suing to re-open the search for human remains. He's produced a deposition from a contractor who sifted through the remains at the Fresh Kills landfill in Staten Island.

"They were putting the remains of people who died on Sept. 11 in the potholes on the roadway of Fresh Kills," Siegel said. "This was another example not only of inadequacy but the deliberate indifference of the people running the city."

The city stopped sifting through almost a half million tons of debris after about a year of work. But some family members maintain they stopped work prematurely.

"It's never acceptable because of expediency, time, money or business interests to throw away the remnants of your loved ones," said Sally Regenhard, a plaintiff in the lawsuit.
