Piece of plane from 9/11 found between two buildings

[Ridge]

New York police say what appears to be part of the landing gear of one of jets flown into the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001 has been found.

The 5ft (1.52m) piece of metal, which bears a Boeing label and serial number, was wedged between two New York City buildings, police said.

It was found on Wednesday by surveyors inspecting a lower Manhattan building.

That is amazing. Good they found it. Imagine if that would've came loose and fell?

You can't just go adding evidence to prove it was terrorists with a plane! That destroys the conspiracy theories!!!!!!!!!!

Can someone explain to me why a medical examiners office is getting involved for a piece of a plane? Was a body attached to it?

Police have taken photographs and are keeping it off-limits until a health assessment has been made by the medical examiner's office.

Well I for one think its pretty awesome that they found a piece of the wreckage like 11.5 years after it happened. In a city as big and as populated as NYC, NO ONE noticed it before. Even though its a tiny ass alley, its wide enough for a homeless person to crawl in for shelter...

To make sure there aren't also human remains around the same area.

Probably because the towers were stuffed to the gills with asbestos, and there are all sorts of toxic chemicals on aircraft.

Meh, I guess these are acceptable responses. Thanks

Within the past year I think they found one of the passenger victim's mandible on a rooftop of a surrounding building from the towers when they were doing roof repairs or something. Shit really flew around when it happened.
